Bournemouth vs Manchester United LIVE
A battle between two teams chasing European qualification took centre stage in the Premier League on Friday night as Bournemouth twice fought back to earn a point against the in-form side across the entire division, Manchester United who missed the chance to tighten their grip on third place in the table.
Man Utd arrived on the south coast with an opportunity to move six points clear in third and four behind rivals Manchester City, who are not in Premier League action this weekend, in second place and took the lead thanks to a Bruno Fernandes penalty on the hour mark. The lead, however, did not last long as Ryan Christie equalised seven minutes later.
An own goal from James Hill restored United’s lead but after Harry Maguire was sent-off for conceding a penalty for a foul on Evanilson in the area, Junior Kroupi stepped up and sent Senne Lammens the wrong way to equalise and earn Bournemouth a point, extending their unbeaten run in the league to 11 matches.

Pre-match thoughts from Michael Carrick
19:42 , Tashan Deniran-AlleyneMichael Carrick on Manchester United potentially finishing second in the Premier League table.
"We'll see, we're just taking it game by game,” Carrick told Sky Sports ahead of kick-off against Bournemouth.
"We have put ourselves in a decent position at the moment, we had a good result last week.
"Coming into the break now we want to finish on a high and we will see where that takes us after that. The league has thrown up all sorts of different results.
"Tonight is a big enough game to focus on itself."
Manchester United pay tribute to Silvino Louro
19:40 , Tashan Deniran-AlleyneSilvino Louro, Jose Mourinho’s long-time goalkeeping coach at the likes of Chelsea and Manchester United, has died.

Michael Carrick issues concerning new Manchester United injury update
19:35 , Tashan Deniran-AlleyneMichael Carrick is still unsure when Matthijs de Ligt will return from injury and cannot say if the Manchester United defender will play again this season.
De Ligt has not featured at all so far under United’s interim manager due to a lingering lower back problem, having last appeared in the 2-1 win at Crystal Palace in the Premier League on November 30.
Carrick’s predecessor Ruben Amorim initially expressed hope at the time that the Dutch international would be back quickly, though later conceded that his injury was more serious.

Fernandes chasing history
18:35 , Tashan Deniran-AlleyneWith two assists last weekend, Bruno Fernandes is now on 16 in the Premier League so far this season.
The Manchester United captain needs four more assists to tie the record set by Thierry Henry, later matched by Kevin De Bruyne, and five to break it.

Howe addresses Man Utd transfer links
18:20 , Tashan Deniran-AlleyneEddie Howe has hit out at “totally disrespectful” reports that Newcastle captain Bruno Guimaraes is in talks over a transfer to Manchester United.
The Magpies’ second-half collapse in their Champions League last-16 second-leg tie against Barcelona this week has sparked fears that stars like Guimaraes and fellow midfielder Sandro Tonali could be poached this summer, particularly if the club - currently ninth in the Premier League table - fail to secure a return to Europe’s top competition next term.
Manchester United were this week said to be in “advanced talks” to sign Guimaraes for around €80million (£69m), with the 28-year-old Brazilian reportedly having been “personally recommended” to the decision-makers at Old Trafford by outgoing compatriot Casemiro as his midfield replacement due to Guimaraes’ experience and leadership.
Predicted Manchester United XI
18:15 , Tashan Deniran-AlleyneThe only real question mark is whether Benjamin Sesko starts for Manchester United and who drops out of the side.
The most likely candidate would be Amad Diallo, and that would see Bryan Mbeumo shift back out wide to accommodate the Slovenian through the middle.
Predicted Man Utd XI (4-2-3-1): Lammens; Dalot, Yoro, Maguire, Shaw; Casemiro, Mainoo; Mbeumo, Fernandes, Cunha; Sesko.
Man Utd pair back in England squad
18:10 , Tashan Deniran-AlleyneManchester United pair Harry Maguire and Kobbie Mainoo have been rewarded for their upturns in form with returns to the England squad, as Leeds striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin and AC Milan’s Fikayo Tomori earned surprise selections from Thomas Tuchel.
Tuchel on Friday named an enlarged 35-man squad for friendlies this month against Uruguay and Japan, which will be “divided into basically two camps”, according to the Three Lions boss.
He said: “We bring players in that we haven’t seen who haven’t played so much to open up the picture, and the competition for plane tickets to the US.

Score prediction
17:50 , Tashan Deniran-AlleyneWhile the reverse fixture was an eight-goal thriller, aforementioned changes in form since then suggest this could end up being a cagier affair.
Still, United have lost just once under Michael Carrick, making them the most in-form side in the Premier League’s top-four race.
The general feel-good factor around the club - plus the comparative quality within the two squad’s - should see them pick up another three points here.
Manchester United to win, 2-1.
Manchester United team news
17:45 , Tashan Deniran-AlleyneMan Utd will be without Lisandro Martinez once again, with Michael Carrick confident the central defender will return after the international break.
Benjamin Sesko is pushing for a start after scoring as a substitute against Aston Villa, leaving Carrick with a selection dilemma.
Bournemouth team news
17:40 , Tashan Deniran-AlleyneBournemouth boss Andoni Iraola has confirmed Tyler Adams will not return from injury against Manchester United.
Trio Julio Soler, Lewis Cook and Justin Kluivert remain sidelined too, but Rayan - fresh off earning a first call-up to the Brazil national team squad - is expected to feature.
