After losing their previous league fixture against West Ham, the Red Devils have slim hopes of qualifying for next season’s UEFA Champions League. Louis Van Gaal’s men must win this fixture against Bournemouth, and hope that Swansea will beat Manchester City at the Liberty Stadium.
This match will be crucial for under-fire manager Louis Van Gaal, who has been facing intense criticism lately following a series of poor results for the Old Trafford outfit. Man United are now fighting for a fourth place finish, yet a few seasons ago, they were winning the league title at will.
Van Gaal’s last two hopes of securing his job lies in winning the FA Cup against West Ham, and securing a Champions League spot. The latter seems quite difficult and they would need more luck to go through.
The visitors face a Bournemouth side that has set their feet off the pedal for quite a while now, having lost five of their last seven league games. Their only win at that time was against relegated side Aston Villa, something that gives them the underdogs tag coming into this fixture.
On the other hand, Man Utd have been quite impressive at home. They have won six of their last seven league games at home, and their defence has only conceded three goals during that period. You can back the Red Devils to win this fixture, but securing a Champions League spot may not be a guarantee if their rivals City beat Swansea.
