United are coming off a dominant 2-0 win over Wolves and will be aiming to repeat that when they travel to Bournemouth’s Vitality Stadium on Saturday.

The Magpies currently sit above United in the Premier League with a far superior goal difference, so the Red Devils will need to score more points if they are going to overtake them.

Bournemouth, having survived the drop against the odds will hope to finish the season on a high note despite back-to-back losses to Crystal Palace and Chelsea in their last two games.

The Cherries face relegation candidates Everton on the final day of the season and will look to strengthen over the coming summer.
