MANCHESTER UNITED were humiliated at home again as they fell to a 3-0 defeat to Bournemouth.

Dominic Solanke hit the Red Devils with an early blow after breaking the deadlock within the opening five minutes.

Philip Billing then doubled Bournemouth‘s advantage in the 68th minute shortly before Marcos Senesi sealed the win.

Old Trafford was half-empty by the final whistle as fans fumed about the dismal display.

As Man Utd suffer another horror defeat, SunSport’s Neil Custis rates the performance.

ANDRE ONANA

Can’t really point the finger at him but he is just a very average goalkeeper at best and United need a lot better than that to go where they want to go. 5.

DIOGO DALOT

With United just one down he was put through and should have pulled the ball back for Rasmus Hojlund in a great position but chose to shoot and found the side netting. 5.

HARRY MAGUIRE

Had a fine first half reading the game and getting great tackles in but crumbled with the rest of the back four in the second half and got lost for stuck between three men for the third. 6.

LUKE SHAW

Asked to move into the centre again in the absence of Victor Lindelof. His pass was intercepted leading to the second goal and was beaten to the header by Billing for the second. 4.

SERGIO REGUILLON

Erik ten Hag says they need to speak to Spurs about whether his loan will be extended beyond New Year. I would send him back. Sloppy ball given away that led to visitors goal. 5.

SCOTT MCTOMINAY

Kept pushed well forward again in a 4-1-4-1 but while half chances fell his way the top scorer couldn’t take them on this occasion. 5.

SOFYAN AMRABAT

Looked a bit overwhelmed at times patrolling in front of the back four on his own and was beaten by Lewis Cook when he assisted the first Bournemouth goal. 5.

ANTONY

Clearly seen as a threat by Bournemouth as they were constantly on his heels leaving him rolling on the deck more than once. Disappeared in the second-half. 5.

BRUNO FERNANDES

This was one of those frustrating games for the captain when he is desperately trying to grab some control of the game without success. Booked late on and will miss Liverpool next week. 4.

ALEJANDRO GARNACHO

He was excellent in midweek but kept totally quiet by the Bournemouth defence on this occasion. 4.

ANTHONY MARTIAL

Got the biggest cheer of the day from the United fans when his number was held up to get him off. Offered little or nothing once more. 3.

SUBS:

RASMUS HOJLUND (For Martial 56)

At least he ran around a bit, unlike the bloke he replaced. 5.

MARCUS RASHFORD (For Garnacho 79)

On too late to affect the game but given his form he probably would not have done much if he came on any earlier. 5.

FACUNDO PELLISTRI (For Antony 79)

If Antony remains inconsistent he needs to start getting a run in this inconsistent team. 6.

JONNY EVANS (For Shaw 79)

Brought on just to get a few minutes into his legs presumably as the game was up. 6.
