Man Utd need to cure away-day bluesSimon StoneBBC Sport Chief Football News Reporter at CarringtonAfter Friday's trip to Bournemouth, Manchester United don't have another match for 24 days, when they play Leeds at home. European qualification is virtually certain next season after a run of seven wins in nine games since Michael Carrick took charge. It is a spot in next season's Champions League that is the key aim for United now though. Carrick has chosen to preview Friday's trip to Bournemouth today, so media commitments don't cut across Thursday training and travel. United have only won one out of their last three away games – and two in seven going all the way back to the victory at Wolves on 8 December.
