Bournemouth vs Man United: Antoine the dream
A key man behind Bournemouth's excellent season has been Antoine Semenyo.
The striker signed from Bristol City has been converted into a winger by Iraola.
He can play on either side and has terrified opposition full-backs with his impressive dribbling and skill off both feet..
Semenyo isn't shy about getting his shots away either, smashing in well over 70.
