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.

      9 years, 8 months ago

      Has Zlatan touched the ball in the Bournemouth half yet apart from his head?

    • Punty McPuntface
      • 9 Years

      Wow this game's so bad

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

        this game's great. 0-0 with 2 united defenders and no attackers either side. yes please!

        1. Nico.
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

      By the time Utd put the ball into the box Bourne had 9 back

      1. Ryan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        United need to learn how to play the game at pace again.

    • The Royal Robin
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Has Ibra looked sharp?

      1. il Brutto
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        No

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

        about as useful as a fork in a soup factory. but to be fair nothing has happened on either side yet.

      3. ⚽️ Barry Chocolate ⚽…
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Blunt

      4. joinho
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        He looks 34

    • Defcons are for Kinnear
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Any fellow Gradel owners? What we doing? Got nothing itb. Maybe ship out for Ramirez

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

        Maybe sell for Ramirez, think vs easier team he could start though

      2. il Brutto
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Plenty of options at 5.5

      3. Obi-1 Kenobi-0
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Would recommend. Gaston was excellent.

    • Obi-1 Kenobi-0
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Zlatan looks monstrously tall compared to most players on the pitch today, Fellaini, Cook and Charlie Daniels aside.

      1. The Royal Robin
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        He'll score surely.

        1. joinho
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          Yea, no danger

    • Syd.
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Ouch.......

    • Numb
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      You this "totting up procedure" where a player gets a YC for X number of fouls regardless of how bad they are....how many fouls equals a yellow?

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

        *You know

      2. Sánchez
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Depends who commits them

      3. Aarono23
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        General rule of thumb is 3. Can depend on the ref though I think.

    • il Brutto
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      United are as bad as expected.

    • andy85wsm
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Bailly is a bit rash isn't he

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

        He's young

        1. andy85wsm
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          True that. Looks like a good prospect but he may have to cut that side out.

          Then again it's that kind of mentality that will see him put in some goal saving tackles.

          1. Mull
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years
            9 years, 8 months ago

            And some game losing red cards.

      2. Jazz!
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Like to see that 😎

      3. Syd.
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Lucky not to be booked

        1. ⚽️ Barry Chocolate ⚽…
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          The new fellaini

        2. Numb
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          He did get a lt of bookings last year

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

            Lot

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

        should work out well for a big premier league centre back

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

      Ibra injured someone already

      1. ⚽️ Barry Chocolate ⚽…
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        The new fellaini

    • Bøwstring The Carp
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      That should be a YC for Ibra 😉

      1. ⚽️ Barry Chocolate ⚽…
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        And didn't even check the oppo player was ok.

        1. joinho
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          As long as Zlatan is ok thats all that matters

    • Obi-1 Kenobi-0
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      What a ball from Valencia. Assists inbound.

      1. Mr. Blonde

        9 years, 8 months ago

      • sminkypinky
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        It'd be a long afternoon playing against that colossus...

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

        Very sloppy game

        9 years, 8 months ago

        this is why im not sold on man utd attack. not positive enough. too many van gaal players on the pitch atm

          • 16 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          14 minutes gone of the first game and you're deciding already?

          1. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
            • 15 Years
            9 years, 8 months ago

            I've already sold him and bought Redmond .
