Manchester United faced humiliation in a 3-0 defeat against Bournemouth in the Premier League on Saturday, experiencing a shocking setback.

Bournemouth secured their first victory at Old Trafford in impressive fashion, outclassing their hosts and justifying the significant margin of the scoreline.

Erik ten Hag’s tactics will face scrutiny as Manchester United played into Bournemouth’s hands repeatedly, leading to discontent among the home supporters who booed the Red Devils at full-time.

In the opening five minutes, Bournemouth surprised with a lead, capitalizing on Bruno Fernandes’ errant pass intercepted by Lewis Cook. Dominic Solanke flicked in Cook’s cutback from the byline. United aimed for a quick response, with Harry Maguire’s header saved by Neto.

Bournemouth threatened on the counter, exploiting Fernandes’ giveaway, but Marcus Tavernier’s shot was smothered by Andre Onana.

Although Tavernier’s subsequent goal was disallowed, Solanke hit the post, and Maguire made a crucial stop before halftime.

After the break, Milos Kerkez blocked United’s attempts, frustrating Scott McTominay and Fernandes. Dalot’s frustrated shot went wide.

Bournemouth capitalized on United’s profligacy, securing their second goal as Philip Billing headed in Tavernier’s cross.

Minutes later, Marcos Senesi headed in Tavernier’s corner for the third. Solanke missed a chance for a fourth. Dango Ouattara’s goal was disallowed for a handball, sparing United further embarrassment.
