Manchester United vs Bournemouth Prediction: United’s good form to continue

Manchester United are back in Premier League action on Monday night as they host Bournemouth at Old Trafford (20:00 GMT, Sky Sports Main Event). United are unbeaten in three and hammered Wolves last time out, while Bournemouth are winless in six. 

Below you can find my Manchester United vs Bournemouth predictions featuring team news and match odds. 

Team News

Manchester United will be without two central defenders in the form of Matthijs de Ligt and Harry Maguire, as both are sidelined through injury. Ruben Amorim also revealed that Benjamin Sesko has had food poisoning this week and will have to be assessed. 

“Maguire is out, De Ligt is out. Ben we have to see,” said Amorim. “We have to see if he’s available. He had some [food] poisoning, but we’ll see. Let’s wait.” Mason Mount, Bryan Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha should line up as the front three having performed well at Molineux. 

Premier League Odds

Marcos Senesi should come through a managed workload this week to feature for Bournemouth, having finished with cramps against Chelsea. 

Lewis Cook is suspended having been sent off against Sunderland while Ryan Christie, Ben Gannon-Doak and Veljko Milosavljevic are all sidelined.

Manchester United to win @ 5/6

Cherries boss Andoni Iraola has won his last two visits to Old Trafford but I’m going to go with the form book on this one. United have recovered well from that shock home defeat to Everton, and that is their only loss in their last nine outings. Amorim’s men look to be flowing going forward, while Bournemouth are lacking a goal threat right now. 

They’ve not scored in either of their last two and they’ve failed to win their last six - a poor run stretching all the way back to the end of October. Antoine Semenyo is out of form and as a result I think this is a good price, backing the home side to pick up another three points. 

Mason Mount to score first @ 8/1

Mason Mount has struggled at times in a Manchester United shirt. However, in recent weeks, he has come to the fore as a key player in the front three, and he’s now scored three Premier League goals this term. 

He has scored two goals in his last three, and interestingly, both of those games have been away games that he has started. In fact, he’s only started seven PL fixtures, so that goal record is impressive. With Sesko possibly out - I think Mount is a great price to open the scoring at Old Trafford.
