Man Utd 0-3 Bournemouth: Amorim can’t halt Old Trafford mess as Iraola’s men run riot

Man Utd capitulated in the second half as Bournemouth inflicted another defeat on the Red Devils as their miserable season continues.

The Red Devils went behind when Bournemouth teenager Dean Huijsen opened the scoring with the Spain Under-21 international glancing a set-piece beyond Andre Onana and into the Man Utd net.

Noussair Mazraoui then gave away a nailed on penalty early in the second half by bringing down Justin Kluivert in the area.

Bournemouth forward Kluivert then stepped up to send Onana the wrong way to double the Cherries lead at Old Trafford on 61 minutes.

And Man Utd capitulated by conceding another just two minutes later with Dango Ouattara picking out Antoine Semenyo inside the Red Devils’ box and the Ghana international kept his composure to finish past Onana.

It is Ruben Amorim’s fourth defeat since taking charge of Man Utd in mid-November with the Red Devils remaining in 13th position in the Premier League table.

Man Utd have now lost seven of their 17 Premier League matches this season and only scored 21 goals with Crystal Palace, Everton, Ipswich Town and Southampton the only clubs to score fewer this term.

Former Man City and Sheffield Utd midfielder Michael Brown has told Man Utd boss Amorim – who left out Marcus Rashford again – to “stop making so many changes” if he wants to find consistency.

Brown said on BBC Radio 5 Live: “What an afternoon of football at Old Trafford. We knew Man Utd would be up against this Bournemouth side who are full of confidence.

“Man Utd contributed with chances, but didn’t have the quality. It could have been more and what a performance from Bournemouth overall.

“We have seen Ruud van Nistelrooy get some results [under his interim tenure], but you cannot not just turn it around quickly – it is going to take time here.

“Ruben Amorim has to stop making so many changes, he needs to find a system in a settled way.

“This is a big blow, this performance at this stage of the season has put a major negative effect back on something what was starting to look good under the new manager.”
