Manchester United suffered a 3-0 home defeat to Bournemouth, marking Ruben Amorim's third loss in six Premier League games. Defensive errors, including Noussair Mazraoui’s penalty foul, and Antoine Semenyo’s goal sealed the Red Devils' fate. Bruno Fernandes shone briefly, but United's struggles under new management continue to mount.
Manchester United endured a humiliating 3-0 home defeat against Bournemouth in Ruben Amorim’s sixth Premier League game in charge, marking a new low point in their season. Despite hopes for a resurgence under new management, the Red Devils’ defensive frailties and disjointed play cost them dearly.
Bournemouth capitalized on United’s vulnerabilities, with Dean Huijsen heading in the opening goal from a set piece in the first half. Although Bruno Fernandes showed glimpses of leadership with determined efforts, his teammates failed to match his intensity. The second half saw Bournemouth extend their lead within minutes. Noussair Mazraoui’s rash foul on Justin Kluivert resulted in a penalty, which Kluivert converted. Moments later, Antoine Semenyo added a third, slicing through United’s defense and leaving goalkeeper Andre Onana helpless.
United’s attackers, including Joshua Zirkzee and Amad Diallo, struggled to make an impact, while the midfield lacked creativity and control. Defenders Lisandro Martinez and Harry Maguire were unable to contain Bournemouth's relentless pace. Substitutes like Alejandro Garnacho and Rasmus Højlund failed to turn the tide, while manager Amorim’s tactical decisions came under scrutiny.
With just seven points from six games, Amorim's tenure has started on shaky ground. Fans are growing restless, and the team faces mounting pressure to turn their fortunes around. This defeat raises serious questions about United's ability to compete at the highest level this season.
