Ruben Amorim Manchester United staggered into Christmas on the back of a chastening 3-0
A year after securing their first ever victory at Old Trafford, Andoni Iraola’s Cherries triumphed by the same scoreline as they inflicted the biggest blow of the Portuguese head coach’s short reign.
Dean Huijsen became the latest player to capitalise on United’s lax set piece defending, before a Justin Kluivert penalty and Antoine Semenyo strike sealed a stunning win that brought boos from the home fans at full-time.
Bruno Fernandes slammed a great chance narrowly from a Diallo cutback before Huijsen twice threatened to undo his good work.
First the defender’s nonchalant pass was cut out by ยูฟ่าเบท https://ufabet999.app Kobbie Mainoo, who broke and played in Fernandes to get away a shot that Kepa saved well.
The ball ended up going out for a corner, with unsighted Huijsen directing Diallo’s corner millimetres wide of his own goal.
Fernandes drove wide from distance and Mainoo struck wide after a battling run before the break.
Amorim brought on Leny Yoro for Malacia at half-time and soon made two further changes, with Rasmus Hojlund and Alejandro Garnacho replacing Zirkzee and Manuel Ugarte.
Those changes came just before a corner that caused problems at the back, forcing Lewis Cook – Bournemouth’s own half-time introduction – to hack clear.
Diallo slammed wide and Milos Kerkez went close to a fourth for Bournemouth as Old Trafford began to empty.
Yoro saw a shot blocked on the line in stoppage time but it would have been scant consolation as boos greeted the final whistle from the United fans that stayed until the bitter end.
