Josh King is backed by Bournemouth boss Jason Tindall to refocus after dream Manchester United move failed this summer

Bournemouth boss Jason Tindall is hoping striker Josh King will return with 'fire in his belly' rather than sulking after a dream move to Manchester United failed to materialise.

The Norway international, who has made just one appearance for the relegated Cherries to date this season, was linked with a series of big-name suitors during the summer after United had tried to sign him in January, but remains on the south coast.

With the summer transfer window now closed, Tindall has urged King to concentrate on proving his worth all over again ahead of Wednesday night's trip to Cardiff.
