Analysis
The Red Devils come into this fixture with renewed hope and confidence following a disappointing 2015/16 when they failed to qualify for the Champions League. The new-look Man United, under former Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho, are one of the favorites to win this season’s league title thanks to their huge spending spree on the transfer market.
One particular player, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, has already won the hearts of millions of the club’s fans across the goals not only for his bravado, but also his sharpness in front of goal. The Swedish star has already scored twice for the Red Devils in three appearances, a performance that makes him one of the favorites to bag the golden boot award if he maintains the same tempo till the end of the season.
After a humiliating exit from Chelsea last season, Mourinho is in a mission to redeem his image by steering his new club to league glory. But Eddie Howe’s men are expected to offer stiff competition on Sunday in order to frustrate the outspoken Portuguese tactician.

Here’s what the two managers had to say ahead of this fixture, courtesy of the BBC:
Eddie Howe
"I am expecting it to be harder (than last season).
"I think the quality of the league has gone up when you look at the quality of managers that have come in, the players that have been attracted to the league and the money that has been spent.
"I think we have improved but I think everybody else will have at the same time so the challenge is going to be tougher - and we need to make sure we respond."
HOWE: The challenge is for the players to respond with a positive attitude v #mufc: https://t.co/Ml3JNz6Zuv #afcb pic.twitter.com/j4zIIVF4US

Jose Mourinho
"We feel that we are candidates to win the title. Many more think the same way as us but they are afraid to say it. They prefer to play a defensive game in words.
"I think Manchester United has to say we want to win the title. At the end of the season if we are not champions because someone is better than us then great, that's football.''
