Manchester United entertain Bournemouth in their rearranged final-day fixture on Tuesday night, live on Sky Sports 1, with fifth place in the Premier League up for grabs. The original game on Sunday afternoon was abandoned after a suspect package was found in the Old Trafford toilets.Greater Manchester Police subsequently confirmed the device described as a life-like bomb was accidentally left by a private company at the stadium following a training exercise held last Wednesday. United are currently sixth, level on points with fifth-placed Southampton, and only an unlikely 19-goal swing against the Cherries will result in Louis van Gaals side overtaking Manchester City into fourth place after their 1-1 draw with Swansea City at the Liberty Stadium on Sunday.Either way, United - who take on Crystal Palace in the FA Cup final on Saturday - have already qualified for next seasons Europa League regardless of what happens against Bournemouth on Tuesday. Wayne Rooney will be wanting to end the season by helping Man Utd to a fifth-place finish with victory over Bournemouth at Old Trafford Bournemouth, meanwhile, have exceeded expectations following their promotion from the Championship and a draw at Old Trafford will see Eddie Howes team finish 15th. A victory, unless it is by ten goals or more, would earn them a place higher.When you look at the size of the clubs that have gone down, their history, their fan base, the size of the grounds, it does bring home the size of the achievement that our players have done, said Howe.Team newsUnited are expected to be without Matteo Darmian again due to an ankle injury while Marouane Fellaini is serving the final game of his three-match suspension.Luke Shaw and Bastian Schweinsteiger remain out through injury. Eddie Howe wants Bournemouth to improve their home form next season Howe has no fresh injury or suspension worries. Adam Smith is unavailable due to a groin injury which forced him off in the 4-0 defeat to City at the beginning of April.Sylvain Distin (back), Tyrone Mings (knee) and Tokelo Rantie (muscular injury) remain long-term injuries.Opta statsUnited have conceded fewer goals than any other team in the Premier League on home soil this season (eight).Bournemouth have lost just three of their last 12 Premier League away matches (W5 D4 L3). Mata: Alert shocked us Manchester United midfielder Juan Mata has revealed the players were shocked by the security alert Bournemouth have visited Old Trafford four times in all competitions, losing all four without scoring.Wayne Rooney has scored just seven Premier League goals this season; he has never before failed to reach double-figures in a top-flight campaign with United.The Red Devils have netted just 46 top-flight goals this season; their lowest goal tally in a completed Premier League campaign is 58 in 04/05.United have won just 18 league games this season. If they dont beat Bournemouth, theyll set a new club record for fewest wins in a full Premier League season (current record is 19 in 13/14).Mersons predictionUnited need to win. They were really poor against West Ham, but I think they will get the three points. Bournemouth have had a great season but they have not been that good lately and United must win and hope Swansea do them a favour.PAUL PREDICTS: 2-1 (15/2 with Sky Bet) The original match between Manchester United and Bournemouth was abandoned after the discovery of a suspect package at Old Trafford BettingUnited are Sky Bets odds-on favourites for the victory on Tuesday night, with Bournemouth up against odds of 17/4 to complete the double over Van Gaals men, while a draw is priced at 16/5.Marcus Rashford is Sky Bets 3/1 favourite to score first as he looks to continue to impress England boss Roy Hodgson, while Callum Wilson is considered the visitors biggest threat at 10/1 to break the deadlock.Sky Bet are enhancing the odds on the in-form Anthony Martial to score in a United win from 6/4 to 2/1 in their pre-match Price Boosts. Ashley Williams Wales Jersey . Ouellette, from Montreal, already has three Olympic gold medals since joining the team in 1999. Joe Ledley Wales Jersey . There are surprises among the Vezina candidates, but most of the others are standard top-tier performers, even if the two Hart Trophy runners-ups have never been quite as good as they have been through the first half of the season. http://www.soccerwalesstore.com/customized/ . The Islanders dealt Thomas Vanek to the Montreal Canadiens after less than a year on Long Island. Meanwhile, the Oilers dealt long-time sniper Ales hemsky to the Ottawa Senators on Wednesday for a fifth-round pick in 2014 and a third-rounder in 2015. Joe Allen Wales Jersey . Kozun faked to the forehand and beat Monsters starter, Calvin Pickard, pad side in the second round for the winner. Spencer Abbott also scored in the shootout for the Marlies (25-13-4). Aaron Ramsey Wales Jersey . Jason Zucker and Matt Cooke also scored for Minnesota, which has won five of six. Kuemper made five saves in the first, nine in the second, and nine in the third. The rookies best save came with 2:17 left in the third period when he denied former Wild forward Matt Cullen from just outside of the crease on the right side. Geelongs miserly defence has proven adaptable this AFL season and Harry Taylor expects that to continue in the absence of Lachie Henderson.Henderson underwent knee surgery earlier this week and its unclear when he will be fit to return.It is a pre-finals blow to the Cats, who have conceded the least number of goals this season with the exception of ladder-leading Sydney.But its far from unchartered territory for Taylor and his fellow backmen, who host Melbourne in a crunch clash on Saturday.Henderson was knocked out in a round-17 win over Fremantle and missed the following two weeks, while he played forward in last Sundays 60-point win over Brisbane.Geelongs key-defender stocks were also depleted in a round-eight triumph over the Crows at Adelaide Oval, where Tom Lonergan was concussed in the opening minutes.Weve been able to mix and match and handle losing one of the tall guys pretty well so Im hopeful that will be the case for this week and however long we dont have Lach, Taylor told AAP.Last week we adapted pretty well when he was in a different position.Weve got some guys who have been able to help throughout the season and Im sure theyll do the same.Cameron Guthrie has played a little bit more defence in recent weeks and Tommy Ruuggles has played a fair bit there now.ddddddddddddaylor noted Henderson, who joined Geelong during last years trade period, remains really confident he will feature in the finals.Hes an ultra professional person who manages his body well .. that gives you a really good chance of coming back quicker, the veteran said.The Cats can finish as high as first or low as sixth depending on results in the final round of the season.Taylor suggested it was an incredibly important match - even if you put the ladder scenarios to one side.You dont want to go into finals battling for form and not really confident about what youre doing, the two-time premiership player said.And the 30-year-old recalls all too well the last time he faced Melbourne, when the visitors ruined Corey Enrights 300th game with a shock victory in Geelong last year.It was a really disappointing loss. It stung for a long time. Im sure all the guys whove played a lot of footy with him (Enright) remember that day and how much it hurt, he said.But weve got a really different team now. Melbournes team is quite different and the stakes are different too. ' ' '
