Bournemouth 0-1 Man United LIVE! Premier League result, match stream and latest updates today

Midfielder Casemiro scored a brilliant acrobatic volley to give Manchester United a 1-0 Premier League win at Bournemouth on Saturday that took them closer to Champions League football next season.

United moved to 69 points in fourth place in the table, behind Newcastle United on goal difference.

The visitors dominated the opening exchanges and went ahead in the ninth minute when Cherries defender Marcos Sensesi tried to hook away a Christian Eriksen pass behind the defence, but only succeeded in teeing up Casemiro for a brilliant spinning volley.

The home side found their feet midway through the first half as Dominic Solanke controlled a long ball into the box and unleashed a shot that David De Gea had to dive to his left to save.

That sparked a positive spell for Bournemouth, with Victor Lindelof forced into a number of defensive headers, but they were soon on the back foot again as United took control again in the second half.

The visitors had plenty of chances without adding another goal and were almost made to pay when substitute Kieffer Moore and Senesi both went close late on, but United held on for a win that prompted wild celebrations from the travelling supporters.

Manchester United moved a step closer to playing Champions League football next season as Casemiro’s brilliant overhead kick sealed a 1-0 win away at Bournemouth.

Victory on the south coast, together with Liverpool’s failure to beat Aston Villa, strengthened United’s grip on a top-four spot with two games to play and meant Erik ten Hag is close to achieving his primary objective in his first season in charge.

This was not Ten Hag’s side at their best, but once they were in front they limited a spirited and organised Bournemouth to a handful of chances, with David de Gea in form to deny Gary O’Neil’s side whenever they threatened.

Ed Woodward lands first job since Manchester United exit

12:58 , Jonathan Gorrie

Former Manchester United executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward has landed his first role since leaving Old Trafford.

The 51-year-old last year called time on his United spell after 16 years with the club, his exit hastened by the failed European Super League debacle and having spent over £1billion on new signings without winning the Premier League title.

After over a year keeping a low profile, Woodward’s next role has now been confirmed after agreeing to join educational esports company EStars.

The company, which was founded in 2017, is based out of the flagship office in Abu Dhabi and already boosts former Newcastle and Netherlands goalkeeper Tim Krul on the board.

Sheikh Jassim lodges huge new Manchester United bid three weeks after deadline

12:49 , Jonathan Gorrie

Qatar’s Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad al-Thani has made a huge and final ‘take it or leave it’ offer to buy Manchester United, reportedly woth close to £5billion.

The offer, Sheikh Jassim’s fourth, is for 100 per cent of the club, would clear United’s debt of nearly £1bn and includes a separate fund directed solely at the club and local community should the takeover bid prove a success.

The offer still falls short of the Glazer family’s £6bn valuation.

The Times report that Sheikh Jassim’s main rival for United, British billionaire Sir Jim Ratcliffe, has not improved an offer submitted in April, which values United at a higher price but is not for the whole club and would give Glazers chance to keep their 20% stake.

Jones makes emotional admission as Man United exit confirmed

12:35 , Jonathan Gorrie

Phil Jones admitted he felt like he was “letting people down” during spells of his Manchester United career, as it was confirmed he will leave the club in the summer.

The 31-year-old arrived at Old Trafford in 2011 after leaving Blackburn, and was part of the squad that won the Premier League title in Sir Alex Ferguson’s final season in charge of United.

Jones’ 229th, and ultimately final, appearance for the club came last season against Brentford, with injury problems keeping him out for the entirety of this campaign.

That has been a painfully familiar theme in recent years and Jones will not get the chance to add to his tally, with the centre-back, whose contract expires this summer, looking back on his struggles in an emotional statement.

“To wear this shirt just once, to wear this badge and represent everyone associated with it, was an honour,” Jones wrote.
