Manchester United suffered another dismal Premier League defeat as Bournemouth piled the misery on Erik ten Hag with their first ever victory at Old Trafford.
The visitors deservedly won 3-0 thanks to goals from Dominic Solanke, Philip Billing and Marcos Senesi as United’s awful Premier League campaign went from bad to worse with their eighth defeat already this season.
It’s also a nightmare start to a crucial week for United manager Ten Hag, whose side host Bayern Munich in a must-win Champions League group-stage finale on Tuesday before visiting Liverpool at Anfield on Sunday.
Ten Hag had left Rasmus Hojlund on the bench in favour of Anthony Martial, as well as leaving Marcus Rashford out of his line-up for a second consecutive match.
But the changes backfired as superb Bournemouth raced to a stunning victory – and their margin of victory could have been even greater after Dango Ouattara had a fourth disallowed for handball late on.

Bournemouth had never won at Old Trafford and had collected just four points from their last 11 Premier League meetings with United. However, they ended the jinx today in emphatic style with a memorable 3-0 victory. Solanke opened the scoring after just five minutes when he turned in Cook’s cross, while a pair of second-half headers from Billing and Senesi – both from Tavernier crosses – sealed the points and heaped pressure on Ten Hag. Now unbeaten in five, Bournemouth look to extend that streak when they host Luton Town next Sunday. Meanwhile, United must quickly recover ahead of their must-win Champions League clash with Bayern Munich at Old Trafford on Tuesday. That’s all for today. Until next time, goodbye!

NO GOAL! The ball struck Outtara’s arm as he rounded Onana and the referee subsequently rules the goal out. The Bournemouth forward could not do too much about that, but it is the right decision with the current laws.

Outtara makes it 4-0! Bournemouth’s high press forces Amrabat back towards his own penalty area. He finds Maguire, who is caught in possession and Evans inadvertently puts Outtara clear on goal. The substitute skips past Onana before rolling the ball into an empty net. But wait, we’re going to VAR!

Rashford has scored five Premier League goals against Bournemouth, netting in each of the last three meetings at Old Trafford. The England forward has only netted more against Leicester City (eight) and Arsenal (six) in the English top flight. But is it too late for him to make an impact this time around?

Barring a dramatic collapse, Bournemouth are well on course to record three successive Premier League away wins for only the second time. It has been a clinical display from the Cherries.

Billing is immediately involved as he latches onto a throughball before firing it across the box. Solanke looks to connect, but cannot quite apply the finishing touch. The offside flag is subsequently raised, so any goal may not have counted.

Bournemouth lead United at the break by a goal to nil. The visitors took the lead after just five minutes at Old Trafford.

There is a break in play with Garnacho in need of attention. The winger appeared to be caught in the face by Smith as he looked to break for United. He should be fine to continue, though.

15:44
OFF THE POST! The woodwork comes to United’s rescue to deny Solanke. The goalscorer gets a shot away from a tight angle. Onana is beaten, but the forward sees his attempt come back off the left upright.

OFFSIDE, NO GOAL! The visitors threaten with a patient build-up that results in Kerkez crossing for Solanke, whose close-range header is brilliantly blocked by Onana.

As for Bournemouth, Andoni Iraola makes just a single alteration from their victory over Crystal Palace last time out. Tavernier starts on the left wing instead of Sinisterra, who drops to the bench.
