Manchester United’s tumultuous season took another downturn yesterday with a humiliating 3-0 defeat to AFC Bournemouth in the Premier League.
Compounding the misery, the defeat occurred at the revered Old Trafford, where the visitors had never previously secured a victory. This setback followed a seemingly promising 2-1 win against Chelsea just three days earlier.
Dominic Solanke stunned United by giving Bournemouth a lead after only five minutes, and substitute Philip Billing added the second with a headed goal. The third unfolded in a set-piece scenario, with an unmarked Marcos Senesi securing the final goal of the game.
Bournemouth came close to making it four, but Dango Outtara’s effort was disallowed by VAR due to a handball in the build-up to the goal.
The lackluster performance exhibited by the Reds yesterday extinguished any momentum gained from the Chelsea game, prompting increased scrutiny from fans regarding the players’ and manager’s consistency.
After conceding the opening goal, United launched a ferocious attack but struggled to deliver a decisive final pass to their forwards. Billing’s goal effectively extinguished any remaining fight in the team.
Their upcoming match poses an even greater challenge, as German giants FC Bayern are set to visit Old Trafford this Wednesday in a pivotal Premier League encounter.
