EPL: Bournemouth stun Manchester United in 3-0 thriller at Old Trafford
Manchester United faced a humiliating 3-0 defeat against Bournemouth at Old Trafford in the Premier League on Saturday.
The result leaves manager Erik ten Hag with a daunting eight-day test ahead. It also loss comes on the heels of their midweek victory against Chelsea.
Bournemouth set the tone early, with Dominic Solanke scoring a cheeky backheel finish in just five minutes.
Despite United fans’ hopes for a comeback, Bournemouth’s lead remained intact as Marcus Tavernier’s first-half header was disallowed for a Solanke offside.
Meanwhile, Boos resonated at halftime as the home team failed to capitalize on opportunities, and matters worsened in the second half when Philip Billing, a Bournemouth substitute, headed in the second goal.
Marcos Senesi extended the lead to three with a header from a corner just minutes later.
The defeat marks United’s seventh league loss of the season, raising concerns for manager Erik ten Hag.
With a crucial week ahead, including a must-win Champions League clash against Bayern Munich and a high-stakes match against Liverpool, United faces significant challenges.
