AFC Bournemouth vs Manchester United LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction
Follow all the action from Vitality Stadium
Follow live coverage as AFC Bournemouth face Manchester United today in the Premier League. Another top-flight season will be covered in full right here with The Independent, as reigning champions Manchester City look to make it an unprecedented five titles in a row come the end of 2024/25.
The likes of Arsenal and Liverpool will be chasing Pep Guardiola's side, but just as fascinating will be the race for Champions League places, with more teams than ever before having designs on top-four finishes. Chelsea remain big-spending, Manchester United's latest rebuild continues and both Tottenham and Newcastle will expect improvements this year - yet it was Aston Villa who snared fourth last term.
Meanwhile, it's Southampton, Leicester City and Ipswich Town who made it back to the elite after promotion last year and each will have hope they can make it more than a one-year stay. Follow the latest live action from the Premier League below:

Meanwhile, Ruben Amorim makes five changes to the side beaten by Wolves 1-0 in last week’s league encounter at Old Trafford. Harry Maguire and Leny Yoro return to start in defence, with Luke Shaw fit enough to start for the first time this season. In midfield, Casemiro replaces Manuel Ugarte, with captain Bruno Fernandes also restored to the starting XI.
