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.

      I feel your satisfaction. As long as Martial outscores Ibra I'm happy.

      C'mon Zlatan, now you score as well

    • Martial Eriksen
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Rooney and Martial owners don't deserve this...

    • Postman Ty
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      of course his fail of a shot goes right between all the defenders and to rooneys head

      9 years, 8 months ago

      Nice shot come cross

      Boy United do carry the luck

      Gonna put my wages on them winning the league

    • Bubz
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Martial 6.9%
      Rooney 5.7%

      1. Greenbackbøøg…
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        reassuring

    • Venom Snake
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Rooney illuminati confirmed

    • devils advocate
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      And that's why he will never get dropped.

      Always scores when the doubt grows stronger.

      Happy but sad.

    • djenzio
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

        • 9 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        • 12 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Even worse will be the Mourinho plaudits despite being tactically outclassed by Howe.

        • 16 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        I think he's actually played quite well. Stil think he should be in midfield.

      Bournemouth's defence looks dire.

      1. djenzio
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago
