Manchester United's season hit a new low as they were comprehensively beaten 3-0 by Bournemouth at Old Trafford. Goals from Dominic Solanke, Phillip Billing, and Marcos Senesi condemned Erik ten Hag's side to a dismal defeat, with the visitors having a fourth goal ruled out for offside.
The result piles pressure back on Ten Hag after the midweek win over Chelsea had offered some respite. A victory over the Cherries, who started the day 16th, would have lifted United level on points with champions Manchester City, but instead they slumped to a heavy home loss.
Solanke opened the scoring after just five minutes, sending the travelling fans into raptures. Billing and Senesi then struck in quick succession to put the game beyond United, who offered little in response. The home supporters voiced their displeasure with loud boos at full time.
Bournemouth's stunning victory was their first ever away win against United, and continues their impressive run under Andoni Iraola. United have now lost 11 matches in all competitions this season and have conceded three or more goals at home on five occasions.
The performance was widely criticised, with players rated poorly in post-match analysis. United face a daunting run of fixtures including Bayern Munich, Liverpool, and Arsenal.
