Manchester United suffered a three-goal home defeat again as high-flying Bournemouth kept a clean sheet against them. It is a second home defeat in a row under new manager Ruben Amorim. Manchester United have now lost for the third time in four Premier League games.
Manchester United will celebrate Christmas in 13th position after another poor display. They have only manage to gather seven points under their new maneger Amorim. In contrast, Bournemouth are fifth, which could be enough to qualify for a place in next season’s Champions League.
United never recovered from Dean Huijsen’s 29th-minute header in the first half. Justin Kliuvert sent Andre Onana the wrong way from the spot after the forward had been tripped by Noussair Mazroaui.
The third goal came in two minutes later as Antoine Semenyo who was left unmarked swept home Dango Ouattara’s cross. It was another sobering afternoon for United and Amorim, who for the third time omitted Marcus Rashford from his matchday squad.
