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

    • BRONALDINHO
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      should've given it to the Zlatan

    • Obi-1 Kenobi-0

        • 11 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

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

          First thought was yay we scored.

          On the replay my second thought was I bet Ibra owners are wishing he squared it.

      • 15 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

    • Red Devil Swede
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Francis has Mata in his FPL team, right? Not once, but twice! Wow.

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

      2. rdamjan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years

        Francis.

    • Optimus.
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      I hate Utd but I'm happy for Mata 🙂

    • willl
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Phew no Ibra involvement.

      1. Worzel Gummidge
          9 years, 8 months ago

          Likely to be the story of the season

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

        Now Bournemouth will have to go for it and leave Zlatan unmarked

      3. ekul the lokonga enthusiast
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        mata could be a real option if he manages to keep his place

      4. ihateramsey2
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Who the **** expected Mata to start??
