AFC Bournemouth kick start their 2016/2017 Premier League campaign on Sunday at Vitality Stadium against Manchester United.

The home team had a respectable season last year, they finished 16th position which in turn handed them a lot of fans. Bournemouth have been handed a hard opening to this season. Howe still maintains his policy of investing in young players as his oldest signings this summer is 22 years of age.

The era of Mourinho as Red Devils manager has commenced, he has already put one trophy in their cabinet this season. Mourinho always won League Title in a club within 2 seasons, he will aim to keep that record at Old Trafford.
