"Bruno Fernandes continue his quest to break the English top flight's single-season record for assists, notching his 15th and 16th of the campaign to break David Beckham's club record in the process. Amad Diallo, Matheus Cunha and Casemiro scored the others that day for the hosts under former boss Ruben Amorim, but the Cherries pegged their opponents back three times and even led at one stage."
"Andoni Iraola and co will be out for revenge on home soil as they bid to secure a top-half finish and possibly European football for themselves. Worryingly for Carrick, whose tenure has brought a general upturn in form to the red half of Manchester, their recent record in this fixture suggests they could get it."
"For Bournemouth, the trio of Julio Soler, Lewis Cook and Justin Kluivert are expected to remain out, while Tyler Adams is a doubt. Adams limped out of the Cherries' last meeting with United after mere minutes had been played, having torn a knee ligament."
Bruno Fernandes continues his pursuit of the English Premier League's single-season assist record, having already surpassed David Beckham's Manchester United club record with 15-16 assists in the campaign. In their previous encounter, United defeated Bournemouth with goals from Amad Diallo, Matheus Cunha, and Casemiro under Ruben Amorim's management, though Bournemouth mounted a comeback with three goals. Bournemouth manager Andoni Iraola seeks revenge on home soil at Vitality Stadium, aiming to secure a top-half finish and potential European football qualification. The match is scheduled for March 20, 2026, at 8pm GMT, with live coverage on Sky Sports. Both teams face injury concerns heading into the fixture.
