Bournemouth boss Iraola wary facing Man Utd striker Hojlund

Bournemouth boss Andoni Iraola admits he's wary facing Manchester United striker Rasmus Hojlund tonight.

Iraola says he's been impressed by the young Dane.

Iraola said: “He is very, very dangerous. I think he's a number nine who plays very well facing his goal because he's physical enough to pin the centre backs and then set up the teammates.

“He is very good also because he's very fast attacking the spaces.

“(He has a) very good strike, very good left foot.

“But they have all the forwards are really good because (Alejandro) Garnacho is making the difference almost every game.

“Whoever they decide to play the other side, Bruno (Fernandes), I think, will have difficult duels.

“But we've shown that we've done it in other games and I hope we are ready to do it again."
