Carrick is expecting tough test against Cherries
Daily Post
|March 20, 2026
MICHAEL Carrick is expecting a difficult test when Manchester United travel to impressive Bournemouth looking to maintain their Champions League charge.
The rejuvenated Red Devils sit third in the Premier League after bouncing back from their first loss under the head coach away to Newcastle by beating top-four rivals Aston Villa 3-1 on Sunday.
Bournemouth lie 10th in the standings and have made life tough for United in recent years, with December’s jaw-dropping 4-4 Old Trafford draw extending their recent unbeaten run in this fixture.
Andoni Iraola has not lost in five previous matches against a club he has been linked to, although Carrick can further his case for the long-term post with a win at the Vitality Stadium.
“It's a tough game,” the United head coach said of Bournemouth, who are undefeated in 10 in the Premier League. “It's a tough place to go. They're on a really good run of form, so, yeah, a difficult game.
