Why Manchester United vs Bournemouth shouldn’t be on TV with fans unable to observe Old Trafford clash

Manchester United tackle Bournemouth this afternoon but fans within the UK won’t have the ability to tune in.

The Red Devils have just crashed out of the Carabao Cup after a bonkers 4-3 loss to Tottenham, but they did beat Manchester City of their last league encounter.

United got here from 1-0 down within the closing stages to grab a 2-1 victory over City and seal Ruben Amorim’s most impressive result so far.

But it surely’s still clear there’s plenty of work to do and Bournemouth are having fun with a robust season.

The Cherries are sitting sixth and have already beaten City, Arsenal and Tottenham this 12 months.

Additionally they won this same fixture 3-0 last season.

It was an enormous result for Andoni Iraola on the time and sparked a superb second half of the campaign.

Meanwhile, Amorim will likely be trying to avoid his second defeat at Old Trafford.

The last time the Red Devils played at home within the league, they lost to Nottingham Forest.

Why is Man United vs Bournemouth not on TV?

This Premier League game hasn’t been chosen for TV broadcast, which implies it won’t be shown within the UK despite kicking off at 2pm.

It’s because this match was initially scheduled for 3pm on Saturday, December 21.

So, despite the date changing, it still cannot be shown on TV.

The fixture was moved when United made it into the quarter-finals of the Carabao Cup and were drawn against Tottenham.

That game took place on Thursday, December 19, meaning on account of player welfare, the match at Old Trafford needed to be moved.

As a substitute, Sky Sports have chosen Fulham’s home tie against Southampton as their 2pm match.
