Bournemouth boss Eddie Howe marks ten years in management facing Manchester United this weekend.

With 10 more points at the halfway stage than the previous campaign, boss Howe insisted he would never stand still in search of perfection.

He said: “For me as a person, I have just thrown myself into the job on every level. The job has consumed me.

“I am just a walking football person. I am thinking football constantly. Every minute is evolved around the job and making sure I'm continuing to take the team and the club forward and it never stops.

“The thing I have noticed in recent years, when you get to the Premier League, is how quickly the game changes.

“You can never be complacent or content with your work. You have to consistently try to push new boundaries."
