Manchester United vs Bournemouth set to go ahead despite Storm Boelo flood warnings across Greater Manchester

Manchester United’s Premier League clash with Bournemouth at Old Trafford is still on despite Storm Boelo sweeping across Greater Manchester, with kick-off confirmed for 2pm. No official communication has been issued to postpone or cancel the fixture.

Storm Boelo has caused significant disruption across the region, with flood warnings in place, power cuts reported in certain areas, train cancellations, and a number of motorway incidents. Greater Manchester has been among the worst-affected parts of the country, though conditions have not yet prompted authorities or the club to call off the match.

The game carries considerable weight beyond the weather. Manager Michael Carrick is under serious pressure heading into the fixture, having been given a stay of execution following a damaging midweek defeat to Como. With United already eliminated from the Carabao Cup at the first hurdle and no further league action until next Saturday, a loss this afternoon is expected to trigger a managerial change.
