Juan Mata starts for Manchester United against Bournemouth

Zlatan Ibrahimovic makes his Premier League debut and Juan Mata is handed a starting role for Manchester United against Bournemouth. If the weight on Howe’s shoulders has increased, then I dread to think what Jose Mourinho must be feeling like.

The 34-year-old, who made a move to Old Trafford as a free agent after running down his Paris Saint-Germain contract, is expected to lead the line for the Red Devils at Bournemouth on Sunday afternoon.

“It was the moment to come to England, and who would not come to Manchester United?”.

The Red Devils approach the game after a mixed pre-season, as they lost 4-1 to an impressive Borussia Dortmund team in China, although they were able to respond in a convincing 5-2 win over Galatasaray and lifted the Community Shield last Sunday after beating Leicester City 2-1 at Wembley.

“Having that player in mind, I want to keep him”.

“I will always remember the first day he trained at Juventus”. That way, if you could not get option one, you go for the second or third. I watched Manchester United play many, many times.

UNITED’S RECORD signing Paul Pogba has the potential to make his massive price tag look cheap, according to the club’s former defender Gary Neville.

I get the impression the general feeling is Arsenal blew their best recent chance to win the Premier League last season and a lack of any mega-star additions over the summer suggests they will be among the top-six also-rans this time around.

The Italian giants did have to pay a fee of around £300,000 due to Federation Internationale de Football Association regulations, but that is a mere drop in the ocean compared to the world-record £89million they received from the same club for Pogba earlier this week. “I don’t have enough money to pay these amounts!”
