Manchester United will look to cement their position amongst the Premier League top four as they take on relegation candidate Bournemouth at Old Trafford in ...

[Antony is injured](https://twitter.com/ShamoonHafez/status/1610354705045094400), requiring the introduction of Donny van de Beek as a No. The commentators describe the match as "lukewarm" to start. On the ensuing free-kick delivery by Christian Eriksen, Casemiro gets on the end of a fantastic ball in, and the Red Devils open the scoring. Bournemouth spring on a turnover in the attacking half, and wonderful one-touch passing gets the ball through to Jadon Anthony. The Cherries have their first look on goal of the match, also coming from a set-piece deep, but Dominic Solanke heads it over. A furious spell of possession results in a few chances in front of net, but the Bournemouth defense holds firm. In their first foray forward of the half, Bournemouth create a good opportunity as Philip Billing gets high above Harry Maguire and heads a cross home, but de Gea is there to punch it away. First it's Marcus Rashford who whiffed on his scissor kick, and then Alejandro Garnacho fires from a tight angle on the left, which Travers has to scramble to stop as he gets up off the turf. Jaiden Anthony is the man to have a go this time, as he gets free down the left side of the penalty area after an excellent back-heel by Jefferson Lerma. A third has been coming for a while now, and it's Marcus Rashford who continues his sensational form with the nail in Bournemouth's coffin. That was the case for Manchester United against Bournemouth, as Ten Hag made a number of changes to the lineup at very little cost. It wasn't long ago that the 27-year-old couldn't stay healthy and failed to impress in his short time on the field, often an easy target for fans and media who wanted a scapegoat for United's larger issues.

If we produce that every time we will climb the table." "The only disappointment is that if we arrive in those positions we have to score the goal. In the first half, we control the game but don't play brilliantly. In the second half, we make a great counter. "It was like a tennis match," said Ten Hag in the press conference after the game. "We don't want to play tennis we want to play football. With Casemiro, Shaw and the rest in this form, expect their progress to continue. Garnacho sums up the verve with which they are playing right now, and was unlucky not to get himself on the scoresheet late in the game when his effort came off the post. After picking out Fernandes, the Portuguese helped the ball on to Garnacho and his cross was finished neatly by Shaw on his weaker right foot. But he also made the difference in front of goal here - measuring his volley beautifully to convert Eriksen's cross from the left. Ten Hag tweaked his shape for this one with Bruno Fernandes starting off on the right wing in the absence of the injured Antony but there tends to be a sense of continuity about United these days. But that did nothing to halt United's momentum - Alejandro Garnacho coming on to set up the second goal.
