At home, Man Utd hosted Bournemouth hoping to secure three points and close the gap on the top four. However, Man Utd were quickly dealt a blow by Bournemouth. In the 5th minute, Bruno Fernandes' poor pass allowed Lewis Cook to break down the left wing. He delivered a perfect cross for Solanke to score with a skillful backheel, giving Bournemouth the lead.
Having conceded an early goal, Man Utd showed determination and pushed their attack forward. However, this was a match where Martial started as the central striker, not Hojlund or Rashford. The French forward lacked determination and only managed one shot in the entire first half.
Man Utd suffered a heavy defeat against Bournemouth.
On the other side of the pitch, Bournemouth continued to launch sharp counter-attacks. Without Harry Maguire's brilliance, Man Utd would likely have conceded another goal. In attack, Man Utd frequently made misplaced passes in crucial moments. They were unable to find an equalizer in the first 45 minutes.
In the second half, the game didn't change much, with Man Utd still controlling possession. However, their shaky defense once again cost the Red Devils dearly. In the 69th minute, Luke Shaw's misplaced pass fell to Tavernier, who then provided a beautiful assist for Billing to head in the second goal.
Five minutes later, Tavernier again delivered a corner kick that set up center-back Senesi to head in the third goal. Manager Erik ten Hag brought on Rashford and Pellistri in an attempt to find a goal, but to no avail. Manchester United suffered a heavy defeat at home.
