Manchester United v Bournemouth: match preview

The question for Manchester United fans is simple and painful: how did it come to needing to beat Bournemouth and Manchester City to lose at Swansea to qualify for the Champions League? This is the barest of requirements for the United behemoth and expect Louis van Gaal’s job to be severely scrutinised should they end the season, as they begin Sunday as favourites to do, outside the top four.
