Bournemouth boss Howe keen to make more history against Man Utd

Bournemouth boss Eddie Howe fancies another upset against Manchester United on Saturday.

The sides are level on 13 points after 10 Premier League games, but United are two spots above the Cherries in seventh with a superior goal difference.

"I think the home games here, we have tried to be very competitive against them," Howe said of United. "Last year was a really tight game. It swung their way in the last few seconds but we gave them a good match.

"The game we won here in our first Primer League season, that was a historic moment for us. That gave us real confidence in a time when we needed it.

"We've had some tough games at Old Trafford, some difficult moments, but here [at home] we've been pretty good against them.

"We need a good start, we need the crowd absolutely with us and we really want this ground pumping tomorrow."

He added: "There's positive signs for them. They've got quality players, a very good manager who has given them real stability. He's working to the future to build a new Manchester United."
