The Red Devils have won just one of their opening seven league games and begin the weekend sitting in 13th place as pressure mounts on manager Michael Carrick.

United were defeated 4-1 by Como in the Champions League last time out, and reports state Carrick must grab a result against the Cherries to keep his job alive.

Bournemouth secured their first top-flight win of the season on their seventh attempt last weekend, beating Sunderland 2-0 in what was a huge relief.
