Bournemouth boss Eddie Howe is counting on Joshua King to upset his old mentor Ole Gunnar Solskjaer today.

Manchester United boss Solskjaer recommended King to Sir Alex Ferguson and also managed his fellow Norwegian in the Old Trafford reserves.

The 27-year-old striker quit United to join Blackburn in 2013 after growing frustrated at a lack of first-team appearances before moving to Bournemouth for a bargain £1million two years later.

Howe said: “I have never asked Joshua if he feels he has a point to prove to United because it was a long time ago now.

"I am one of Josh's biggest supporters, I think he is a fantastic player. There is no ceiling to what he can achieve."
