Casemiro is proving why Manchester United must give Erik ten Hag what he needs this summer

Manchester United's slender 1-0 victory over Bournemouth at the Vitality Stadium on Saturday marked their 12th Premier League win of the season by a one-goal margin.

In the absence of having a world-class striker at the forefront of their attack, United have relied on narrow victories, backed up by a sturdy defence, to get the job done on several occasions this season. The victory on the south coast, though it was not one for the ages, has put them on the brink of wrapping up a top four finish and securing Champions League qualification.

They now require just one point from their last two games, meaning you would have to be very brave to bet against them getting the job done. Chelsea visit Old Trafford on Thursday night before Fulham visit on M16 on the final day of the season on Sunday.
