IAN WRIGHT had the last laugh after correctly predicting Bournemouth to beat Manchester United.
The pundit was laughed at by colleagues Gary Neville and Roy Keane after suggesting United would not win.

Fans also took exception to Wright’s prediction but he was proved correct after the Cherries romped to a 3-0 win at Old Trafford.
Wright, 60, took to X to show off, sharing a clip of the Stick to Football podcast in which he made his prediction.
He wrote in the caption: “They were cooking me in the comments!!!”
Wright left Keane bemused after tipping Bournemouth to get a result, with the former Red Devils captain reminding Wright that he also thought Everton would beat United.
The Toffees lost 3-0 to Erik ten Hag’s side but Wright said he had a “gut feeling” that Bournemouth would prove trickier customers – and he was right.
He said: “I don’t think United are beating Bournemouth.
“I just trust my feelings. My gut feeling says ‘I don’t like – I don’t feel it bro.”
Wright, Neville and Keane also discussed which United players they would sell and keep if they were in charge.
And the trio, along with Jamie Carragher, agreed eight players should be let go, including Raphael Varane, Jadon Sancho and Antony.
But the pundits could only agree on four players who should be kept on, with the likes of Marcus Rashford and Andre Onana on their last straw.
