Bournemouth vs Manchester United preview – Jose Mourinho should not underestimate the small side who punch above their weight

United need to be careful of key players in this Bournemouth side
The most frightening thing about Bournemouth this season is the sheer amount of firepower they have up top.
Former Manchester United man Joshua King and his teammate Callum Wilson have formed a formidable partnership up top. Between them, they have six Premier League goals this season and will be hungry for more this weekend.
Chris Smalling and Victor Lindelof, the likely partnership on Saturday, will have to work extra hard if they are to keep both strikers quiet. However, marking winger Ryan Fraser will also be crucial, as the Scotsman enjoys assisting his forwards from the left wing, so Ashley Young will need to be at his best at right-back as well.
Furthermore, former Chelsea man Nathan Ake has been a rock in defence this season and could cause United harm going the other way as well, as he continues to be dangerous from set pieces.
