Highlights

FULL-TIME! Manchester United begin their Premier League campaign with a 3-1 victory over Bournemouth at the Vitality Stadium with Juan Mata, Wayne Rooney and Zlatan Ibrahimovich on the score-sheet. Adam Smith scored a consolation for the hosts.

90'+3

The substitute Gradel whips the ball in but United survive. Bournemouth are back in possession though...

90'+2

Credit where credit is due though as the Cherries refuse to give up the fight. A shot is blocked by Fellaini and the hosts have a corner.

89'

There will be four minutes of added time as Bournemouth continue to search for a way back into the match. Unlikely...

88'

SUB! Rooney is replaced by Memphis Depay for the remaining couple of minutes. Blind takes the captain's armband.

86'

The performance of debuants Ibrahimovic and Bailly has probably been the most pleasing aspect for United fans today.

85'

It's taken all of 85 minutes but Andre Marriner finally dips into his pocket and books Herrera for time wasting.

84'

SUB! Jose makes his second change as Morgan Schneiderlin comes on to replace Martial.

83'

Ibrahimovic skips away from a Bournemouth challenge and finds himself behind the home defence with Rooney in support. He tries to pick out his team mate but he overhits his pass and the Cherries survive.

82'

The impressive Bailly, who looks extremely solid at the back for United, clears the danger and it's back to the drawing board for Bournemouth who are running out of time.

81'

The goalscorer Smith wins a free-kick for the hosts and Bournemouth have a chance to deliver a cross into the penalty area.

80'

Final change for the hosts as Max Gradel comes on for Cook.

78'

The hosts haven't been able to build momentum after scoring a consolation goal and Eddie Howe is preparing a much needed change.

77'

76'

Bournemouth look tired at this stage. Eddie Howe's side had performed brilliantly and looked solid until Francis' costly mistake minutes before the half-time break.

75'

United are passing the ball around comfortably at the moment, much to the delight of Jose who must be impressed with his team's performance in the second-half.

73'

Juan Mata is the man replaced as Mkhitaryan makes his way onto the pitch for the remaining 15 minutes plus.

71'

Jose Mourinho is preparing his first substitution of the match and it's believed Henrikh Mkhitaryan will come on for his first Premier League appearance.

70'

Well, what a second-half we've watched thus far! It more than makes up for a boring first-period. Eddie Howe's side are pushing men forward so expect more goals!
