Michael Carrick and Man United go in search for big win against bogey side who have made their life a living hell recently

Manchester United manager Michael Carrick takes his side into Sunday's Premier League clash against AFC Bournemouth seeking to end a seven-match winless streak. The Red Devils have not won a league match since defeating Ipswich Town in late August, and they face a difficult challenge against a Bournemouth team that has proven to be a persistent obstacle in recent meetings.

United are winless in their last six encounters against Bournemouth, recording four draws and two 0-3 defeats at Old Trafford. The match presents an opportunity for struggling attackers Bruno Fernandes and Marcus Rashford to regain form, with Fernandes tallying nine goal contributions in nine games and Rashford recording six in seven matches against the Cherries.
