Manager Erik ten Hag is under increasing pressure after Manchester United’s humbling 3-0 loss to Bournemouth at Old Trafford.
Dominic Solanke’s first goal of the game came in the fifth minute, and Ten Hag’s team gave up in the second half, aiming to build on their 2-1 victory over Chelsea on Wednesday.
After Philip Billing, a replacement, headed the ball for Andoni Iraola’s team to take a 2-0 lead, Marcos Senesi’s header from a corner gave Manchester United even more reason to be upset.
Only three of Manchester United’s attempts on goal were on target, adding to their dismal defensive performance. The home crowd angrily jeered their team’s sixth Premier League loss of the year as the game came to an end.
With the defeat, United loses more ground on the top four, while Bournemouth celebrates a historic win—their fourth in five games—that puts them 10 points above the relegation zone and in 13th place in the Premier League standings.
WHAT NEXT FOR MANCHESTER UNITED?
To advance from Group A of the Champions League, Manchester United needs to defeat Bayern Munich at home on Tuesday, December 12, and hope for a draw between Galatasaray and FC Copenhagen. Start at 8:00 p.m.
