Ruben Amorim has had an immediate impact since joining Man United from Sporting Lisbon.
A robust defensive structure was at the heart of United’s recent win over Man City at the Etihad, but building on that memorable Premier League win at the home of their biggest rivals is now the big question.
Bournemouth have impressed under Andoni Iraola throughout the 2024-25 season to this point, and the Cherries could potentially head into Christmas Day in the European spots if they are able to claim maximum points at Old Trafford.

Man United vs. Bournemouth Prediction
Progress has been made by United under Amorim, but defensively there are still question marks. Bournemouth have a lethal counter-attacking style, which has already gained points against Man City and Arsenal this term.
Therefore, an away win is hard to rule out completely. But, we prefer the chances of United to back up their win against City.
