Andoni Iraola’s Bournemouth side can make it five games unbeaten against Manchester United at Old Trafford on Sunday afternoon.

A great run for the Cherries has seen them win three and draw one of their last four games, most recently being held to a point at home against West Ham.

A spectacular free kick from Enes Unal rescued the Cherries last week, after they went behind late on in the contest.

Tomorrow’s opponents, Manchester United, are coming into the game off the back of an impressive 2-1 win away at Manchester City.

The red half of Manchester have a new face at the helm in Ruben Amorim, and Andoni Iraola knows that it’ll be a tough test on Sunday, Iraola said: “They are different.

“They play a different system; they keep the games under more control.

“If we allow them to take the game and be the team taking decisions, it’s going to be very difficult.”

The last time the Cherries visited Old Trafford, they secured a famous and memorable 3-0 win.

The victory is still significant today for the Bournemouth manager, he said: “It was an important result, because of the standings.

“It helped us to finish well that run of games; it was special because of the stadium and the atmosphere.”

Andoni Iraola revealed that the exact same players that were available for the West Ham game are available for Sunday’s game, with no new injuries or returning players.

The Cherries were unbeaten against Manchester United last season, with a win and a draw against the Red Devils.

A win would take Bournemouth up to fifth in the table, however a defeat would see Amorim’s side go above the Cherries in the table.
