Jose Mourinho returns to the Premier League with a sun soaked Vitality Stadium providing the backdrop.

AFC Bournemouth host Mourinho and his Manchester United charges in today’s early kick-off, with Eddie Howe’s men attempting to follow Hull City’s lead and rip up the script.

Certainly today’s meeting will provide a stern test of Mourinho’s work over the summer – a tight pitch, a tight ground and a home side bristling with pace via Josh King, Callum Wilson and new signing Jordan Ibe.

But United have Zlatan Ibrahimovic; the Swede heads into the match having been handed the armband by 21% of Fantasy Premier League managers. It remains to be seen if he can keep pace with Sergio Aguero who was backed by 34% and rewarded them with a 9-point return in the day one win over Sunderland.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    Bailly is just bullying the opposing players. On the verge of a yellow but he judged the referee's criterium nicely. And I like how he got in the grill of everyone, you really need to be assertive like that to be a top PL defender.

    Martial has been disappointing so far. Not getting in the right positions and losing possession a lot. Is it the shirt number Tony?

    Wow. Watching this Bournemouth team is so depressing.

    Just freaking shoot already for god sake.

          Should have got Rooney instead of Zlatan. Same result but 2.5M cheaper 🙁
