Bournemouth boss Eddie Howe has challenged his players to rise to the test of facing Manchester United.

The Dorset club have picked up one point from three games at Old Trafford since being promoted to the top flight.

Howe said: “It's a tough game. Whenever you go to Old Trafford you know you are going to be in for a tough assignment.

“We are going to need to rise to that challenge. They have had two really good results and performances. I am sure the atmosphere in the stadium will be good for the players there.

“We will look forward to going there as we always have done. We have had some tough encounters and enjoyed our matches in the ground – we will look forward to another tough game."
