For the second successful start to the week, Manchester United will close the weekend fixtures as they host Bournemouth on Monday night at Old Trafford.
United enter this match hoping to extend their momentum from last Monday, where they delivered a dominant 4-1 victory against Wolverhampton Wanderers, with Bruno Fernandes scoring twice and assisting another for Mason Mount.
While Bryan Mbeumo added the final goal at Molineux.
Ruben Amorim’s side have now lost just one of their last nine Premier League games (W5 D3), suffering a 1-0 defeat at home to Everton the last time they played on a Monday at Old Trafford.
They aim to keep pace with the sides above them who won over the weekend, including Liverpool, who sit one place higher in sixth with 26 points.
A United victory would take them to 28 points and potentially into fifth place if Manchester City manages to edge out Crystal Palace.
Meanwhile, since defeating Nottingham Forest 2-0 at the end of October, the Cherries have failed to win any of their last six top-flight matches, collecting only two points from a possible 18 during that run.
Their most recent outing saw them hold Chelsea to a goalless draw, and they will carry that resilience to Old Trafford in search of three points that could lift them from 14th in the table into the mid-table region with 23 points.
