In a stunning turn of events, Manchester United faced a devastating 3-0 defeat against Bournemouth at Old Trafford, leaving manager Erik ten Hag furious and the team’s top-four aspirations in jeopardy. Dominic Solanke opened the scoring early on, followed by Philip Billing doubling the lead and Marcos Senesi completing the rout. It marked United’s eleventh defeat of the season, intensifying pressure on the embattled ten Hag.

The Dutch manager did not mince words in his post-match assessment, criticizing the squad’s inconsistency and stating, “As a squad, we are not good enough to be consistent.” United legend Gary Neville labeled the result “abysmal,” emphasizing the team’s consistent inconsistency.

Ten Hag took partial responsibility for the dismal start, acknowledging the need for better preparation. Jamie Redknapp expressed bewilderment at United’s erratic performances, likening the situation to a soap opera plot. Fans, frustrated by the poor showing, booed the team off the pitch, signaling their discontent.

To compound United’s woes, captain Bruno Fernandes will miss the clash against Liverpool due to suspension. Fernandes admitted the team’s lack of consistency and underperformance, echoing the sentiments of disappointed supporters. The defeat further underscores the challenges facing Manchester United and adds to the growing scrutiny on Erik ten Hag.
