da realbet: The abject Red Devils were torn apart by Andoni Iraola's intense & brave side and fell to their joint-worst defeat of the season
da bet7k: Just when Manchester United thought they were turning the corner, they reverted to their very worst version of themselves and were blown apart by Bournemouth on Saturday, losing 3-0 at home in embarrassing fashion.
Erik ten Hag's side should have been galvanised by a hugely encouraging win over Chelsea last time out, but instead looked shaky from start to finish and were played off the park by Andoni Iraola's brave and dynamic side.
Dominic Solanke tapped the visitors into an early lead following a lightning quick break before Philip Billing and Marcos Senesi scored headers in the second half. Bournemouth thought they were about to record the biggest win of the season at Old Trafford when Dango Ouattara added a fourth in added time, but VAR took mercy on United.
Most home fans had already left Old Trafford at that point though, fed up with the shockingly bad performance they had just witnessed.
GOAL rates United's players from Old Trafford..
Getty ImagesGoalkeeper & Defence
Andre Onana (5/10):
Made a shaky start and risked giving away a penalty in the opening minutes. Not directly to blame for any goals, but didn't do much to stop them.
Diogo Dalot (5/10):
Had one lovely move with Antony which ended in him blasting into the side netting. Pretty average defensively.
Harry Maguire (6/10):
United's best player again, but that's nothing to celebrate.
Luke Shaw (4/10):
Found out at centre-back and his lack of height worked against him, being out-jumped by Billing for the second goal. He also lost the ball in the build-up to that goal and his distribution was poor.
Sergio Reguilon (5/10):
Played with passion but his decision-making was poor and a lot of Bournemouth's best moves came down his right side.

Sofyan Amrabat (4/10):
Couldn't cope with Bournemouth's intensity.
Scott McTominay (4/10):
Very poor on the ball, giving it away repeatedly. Barely got in any good shooting positions.
Bruno Fernandes (5/10):
Kept on over-hitting passes or seeing his balls cut out. Now suspended for the trip to Liverpool after getting a silly booking for dissent.

Antony (5/10):
Couldn't follow up his impressive display against Chelsea and was back to being ineffectual. At least he worked hard.
Anthony Martial (3/10):
Another dire performance as a starter to file alongside his one at Newcastle. Slow, weak and created almost nothing.
Alejandro Garnacho (5/10):
Struggled to get much room down the left and was nullified by Smith. Might have been affected by a bang he took on the face in the first half.
Getty ImagesSubs & Manager
Rasmus Hojlund (5/10):
An improvement on Martial but not by much. Picked up a silly booking for asking for a yellow card for an opponent.
Facundo Pellistri (N/A):
Came on in the 79th minute.
Jonny Evans (N/A):
Came on in the 79th minute and looked hapless for the fourth goal, but spared by VAR.
Marcus Rashford (N/A):
Came on in the 79th minute and ran into the same problems he has faced all season: an inability to beat his man.
Erik ten Hag (4/10):
Why did he start Martial and why did he not at least haul him off at half-time?
