Manchester United v Bournemouth LIVE: Result and reaction as dismal United thrashed by Cherries
Manchester United 0-3 Bournemouth: Ruben Amorim’s side humbled by the flying Cherries as Dean Hujsen, Justin Kluivert and Antoine Semenyo all netted in a dominant display
Bournemouth thrashed Manchester United 3-0 to heap further problems upon Ruben Amorim as Dean Huijsen, Justin Kluivert and Antoine Semenyo scored in a dominant Cherries win.
The result means Bournemouth climb to fifth in the Premier League standings, while United are languishing in 13th and will welcome Christmas in the bottom half of the table for the first time since the 1989-90 campaign.
Marcus Rashford was once again absent from the Red Devils squad as Amorim continues to freeze out the England forward after his explosive interview claiming he was “ready for a new challenge” and suggesting he wants to leave Old Trafford.
Rashford has now missed this defeat, last weekend’s Manchester derby and the chaotic midweek Carabao Cup defeat to Tottenham.

Diallo’s corner is cleared and Adams looks to break, but the visitors are happy to recycle possession before Kluivert is penalised for handball.

It’s a great goal from Bournemouth though, as Evanilson threads a great ball between the defenders for Ouattara, who then cuts it back for Semenyo to sweep in past Onana for 3-0!

A silly decision from Mazraoui and it looks like that could be that, even at this early point in the game. United have offered very little in attacking areas bar one five-minute period at the end of the first half.

Silly challenge from Mazraoui, as he slides in too late and brings down Kluivert. Stone wall.

Still not clicking in attack for the hosts, with another pass over to Dalot once again not making it to its intended target. They’re enjoying a bit more possession now though.
