Manchester United have made yet another slow start to the Premier League season, winning just one game from the seven played so far. The Red Devils, placed 13th on the table, are in desperate need of a win as they face AFC Bournemouth at Old Trafford on Sunday. A win could boost the team's morale and set them off on winning ways, but recent form tips the scales in Bournemouth's favor.
Though Bournemouth, too, have won only one game out of seven in the Premier League, they are off to a flyer in the Europa League. They have won all three of their tournament games so far, including a 3-0 win against Italian giants AC Milan on Thursday. Before that, they trumped Sunderland 2-0 in the Premier League last week.
United, on the other hand, are struggling in both the Premier League and the Champions League. They were held to a 1-1 draw by Leeds last week and got thumped 4-1 by Como in the UCL on Wednesday. Manager Michael Carrick still has his job, but if the poor run continues, he may be shown the door.
With the team under fire from both fans and critics, can they deliver a win against Bournemouth at home? Here are all the details you need to watch Manchester United vs. AFC Bournemouth using a streaming service, free streaming trial, or VPN.

Unlike other teams, it is recent form that worries United more than injuries. They are likely to start with a similar set of players from their last two games, with defender Lisandro Martínez's availability subject to fitness. In his absence, Carrick played Matthijs de Ligt at the back against Como, but that didn't work out quite well.
Bournemouth, on the other hand, could stick with the same XI that played in the 3-0 win against Milan on Thursday, though we could see shakeups. With no major injury concerns for the starters, Marco Rose could play them again unless he is looking at squad rotation. Recent form and fitness considered, there are the playing XIs that could feature in Man United vs. Bournemouth clash on Sunday:
