They'll be playing each other next season - but how do Bournemouth and Manchester United compare?
Bournemouth virtually sealed promotion to the Premier League on Monday night, meaning the south coast side will come face-to-face with England's elite next season.
Boss Eddie Howe described the club's rise from the depths of the fourth-tier and the brink of extinction to Premier League new boys as an "amazing journey". A comparison with Manchester United demonstrates the scale of their achievement...
Seasons in England's top flight
Bournemouth: 0
Manchester United: 90
For all but five of Bournemouth's 116-year history, they have played in or below the third tier and last season's 10th-placed Championship finish was a club record. In contrast, Manchester United have enjoyed 90 seasons in the top flight since 1888/89 and are currently on a 40-season run in England’s elite division.
Last week, Sky Sports' Ultimate League, which listed the average finishing positions of English clubs over the past 50 years, placed United second, with an average placing of 4.9. Bournemouth were 62nd, with an average placing of 59.8.
Stadium capacity
Bournemouth: 12,000
Manchester United: 75,635
Bournemouth may be one of the best teams in the Championship this season but their Goldsands Stadium has the lowest capacity in the second tier. Chairman Jeff Mostyn has spoken of his aim to increase the capacity from 12,000 to 18,000. However, even that total would fall below the lowest capacity in the Premier League this season - 18,439 at QPR's Loftus Road.
Bournemouth have an average attendance this season of 10,265. Manchester United's Old Trafford, meanwhile, can hold 75,635 - second only to Wembley in England and in the top 10 football stadiums in Europe. Their average is a Premier League-high 75,329
