Bournemouth vs Manchester United LIVE
Before the first leg of their Europa League semi-final against Athletic Bilbao in Spain on Thursday, Manchester United face Bournemouth in the Premier League.
Qualifying for the Champions League by winning the Europa League is the priority for United after a disastrous domestic campaign, but Amorim named a strong team at the Vitality Stadium including returning captain Bruno Fernandes. Amorim has stressed the importance of a positive result for United ahead of their trip to Bilbao next week.
United lost to Wolves last weekend and face a Bournemouth side targeting a European spot after an impressive season under Andoni Iraola. Bournemouth won 3-0 at Old Trafford in December and could become the sixth side this season to complete a Premier League double over United, which would be the most against them in a single season since 1933-34.

63 mins: Dorgu almost catches out Kepa with a hooked cross that was creeping under the crossbar. The Bournemouth goalkeeper turns the ball behind for a corner.

57 mins: Dorgu booked for a challenge on Smith. He got the ball there. The referee has got that one wrong.
55 mins: Chance for United! Fernandes gets it horribly wrong from a cutback from the left from Garnacho. The flag was up anyway…

47 mins: Close from Semenyo! The ball falls to Semenyo on the edge of the area and he bends a left-footed effort inches wide with Onana beaten. What a goal that would have been.
