Bournemouth toppled United 2-0 in 1984’s FA Cup under Harry Redknapp, with current boss Howe admitting he perhaps undervalued that achievement in cherishing his side’s victory over Chelsea last week.

For me, the Bournemouth game was the most disappointing so far this season because I fully expected the team and van Gaal to demand a response out of themselves after the Champions League exit to Wolfsburg. “It’s always like that”.
“It’s the first one Kingy’s scored”, Tindall told Sky Sports News HQ. Third-placed Arsenal, who have 30 points, visit bottom side Aston Villa on Sunday.
Bournemouth have pulled off the two biggest results in their history over the last two weeks, beating Chelsea and Manchester United consecutively.
It took only two minutes for Bournemouth to take the lead in the game when, astonishingly, Junior Stanislas curled the ball into the back of the net from a corner.
“With United off the pace, they need to do something about it. Going out of the European Cup can help United focus on the league”.
The experienced midfielder also admitted that injuries have hindered United but he also insisted that he is “not making any excuses but if you look at the injuries, I thought the young lads did well, to be honest”.
“That meant a lot to me”. “We’ve practiced on it in training and I’ve missed every time”.
And that they’ll take some time to recover…
Jesse Lingard limped out of the lacklustre Bournemouth loss, with Van Gaal confirming the winger had suffered the recurrence of a previous leg problem. It’s already very hard because my players are very disappointed, they have done everything but they have lost.
Manchester United can not be considered realistic contenders to win the Premier League this season, according to The Sun’s Martin Lipton. It was Ighalo’s 10th goal of the season, while Lukaku has 12.
Elsewhere, Romelu Lukaku scored for the sixth league game in a row for Everton in a 1-1 draw at Norwich and another in-form striker, Odion Ighalo, grabbed Watford’s victor in a 1-0 victory at Sunderland. Wes Hoolahan equalised for the struggling Canaries.
Because only then, could they still have hope that there is a bit of good in the “philosophy” he is trying to put in place.

Josh King revelled in a special moment as his second-half strike was enough for AFC Bournemouth to sink his former club Manchester United 2-1 at the Vitality Stadium.
