Arter battles on after baby daughter’s death

Eddie Howe has laughed off “crazy” speculation linking him with the England manager’s job following his success at AFC Bournemouth.

“And I have seen also how the bench was participating in the match, so we all wanted to win”.

The Republic of Ireland global lined up for the Cherries in their 2-1 victory against Louis van Gaal’s injury-hit United on Saturday evening, despite he and his partner losing their baby at birth earlier in the week.

Manager Howe hailed an unprecedented week for Bournemouth, following the 1-0 win at Chelsea, backing the promoted club to win their fight for Premier League safety. United needed that goal to get back into a very open game, which both sides felt they can get more goals out of.

Junior Stanislas scored directly from a second-minute corner for his third in as many games and, although Marouane Fellaini levelled, former United youngster Josh King wrapped up the win in the second half after finishing unmarked from a low corner routine.

For United, the result ended a week to forget as a goalless draw at home to West Ham was followed up by Champions League elimination with defeat in Wolfsburg.

“The only thing to do now is stick together, get back to the training ground, work hard and perform next week”, he told MUTV.

Van Gaal said wins in United’s next three matches – against Norwich, Stoke and Chelsea – will allow them to sustain their Premier League title hopes.

“But if you look back on this week it’s been a great week for the club and not the type of thing that’s ever happened here, so we’re certainly embracing the good feeling at the moment”. “We have to make a revival this week, and that’s always very hard because you have lost two in a row, and that doesn’t happen often for Manchester United”. That is not normal for us because we give a lot of attention to organisation.

He then revealed why he had decided he would rather play in the match after such a trying week.

“Of course it’s disappointing if you lose two matches in a row in an important week, so now we have to stay there in a position to keep fighting”, he said.

Bournemouth took the lead in the second minute when David De Gea was beaten directly from a corner by Junior Stanislas.

‘I saw in the week that we had that spring in the step.

With injuries forcing Van Gaal to field a defence featuring Cameron Borthwick-Jackson, 18, Paddy McNair and Guillermo Varela, United fell behind inside two minutes when Stanislas’s wind-assisted corner curled straight in.
