Man Utd and Bournemouth look to continue their winning starts to the Premier League Summer Series on Thursday at 3.30am (UK time). Soldier Field in Chicago provides the stage for the showdown, which will be broadcast live in the UK on Sky Sports.
Philip Billing to score anytime (11/2 with Betfred)
The midfielder’s future at Bournemouth remains uncertain, having spent the second half of last term on loan at Serie A champions Napoli. Nevertheless, the Dane has made a purposeful start to pre-season with goals in each of the Cherries’ opening two games, and he will want to build on that momentum here.
Over 3.5 goals (7/4 with Bet365)
With the attacking quality at the disposal of both sides, we can expect to see goals in this contest. Bournemouth have already found the net five times in two games, while Man Utd got off the mark thanks to Bruno Fernandes’ double against West Ham last time out.

How both teams go into Man Utd vs Bournemouth
Man Utd are fresh from claiming their first victory of pre-season after Bruno Fernandes inspired them to a 2-1 win over West Ham last weekend.
Ruben Amorim’s preparations for the forthcoming campaign began with a goalless draw against Leeds, but Fernandes’ brace against the Hammers got that maiden victory on the board.
Meanwhile, Bournemouth are quickly into their stride, having opened pre-season with a pair of wins.
After seeing off Hibernian 2-1, Andoni Iraola’s side were commanding 3-0 victors over Everton in their first match of this competition, with Philip Billing, Dango Ouattara and Daniel Adu-Adjei all on target in the second half at MetLife Stadium.
Man Utd team news
Amorim is likely to rotate his squad during these early stages of pre-season, though the Man Utd boss confirmed new signing Bryan Mbeumo will not make his debut until their next match against Everton.
Bournemouth team news
Iraola should also make several changes to his starting line-up, with players like Alex Scott, Antoine Semenyo and Chris Mepham hoping to start after coming off the bench against Everton.
Man Utd vs Bournemouth head-to-head
Man Utd have failed to win any of their last four matches against Bournemouth, who have enjoyed a pair of 3-0 victories at Old Trafford during that span.
