“…To be able to go back now and play there so many times and get good results, especially makes it a little bit better. So yes, I’m always excited to play against United.”
Adams, who won November’s Premier League Goal of the Month for his sensational 47-yard strike against Sunderland, will hope to impress his potential suitors with another vintage all-around performance as the Cherries’ engine room operator.
