Garnacho battles for the ball
Manchester United are trailing 1-0 against Bournemouth at half-time.
United were defeated by Newcastle at St. James’ Park last weekend, but the players responded to a rallying cry from Erik ten Hag by delivering an improved display to win 2-1 against Chelsea earlier in the week.
Ten Hag’s side created plenty of chances in that victory, which eased the growing pressure on the manager, and Bournemouth’s visit to Old Trafford is an opportunity to secure another three points in the league.
Regarding the team news, Victor Lindelof has been ruled out of the match and Marcus Rashford makes the bench after missing Friday’s training session due to illness. Anthony Martial replaces Rasmus Hojlund in the team.
Raphael Varane is back on the bench but Mason Mount and Amad remain sidelined despite returning to training after lay-offs.
Follow below for live updates from Old Trafford.

United player ratings as Martial and Fernandes poor
Andre Onana
Unconvincing with his volleyball shot-stopping technique, albeit from Dominic Solanke’s offside header. Did not cover himself in glory for the last goal. 4
Diogo Dalot
Offered little against a disciplined Bournemouth defence and Antony did most of the running down the right. Selfishly shot when Rasmus Hojlund was available. 4
Harry Maguire
United’s player of the season so far was their player of the first half but he lost Marcos Senesi for the third goal and culpable for the last goal. 5
Luke Shaw
Moved back to centre back and Solanke was a handful but it was Philip Billing who outjumped him to score. 5
Sergio Reguilon
Proactive but seldom incisive in the final third until early in the second half. Defensively non-existent. 4

FULL-TIME!
United are embarrassed by Bournemouth, who earn their first win at Old Trafford.
Awful performance. Where do United go from here?

Thankfully, an embarrassing fourth goal has been disallowed by VAR.

GOAL! 4-0 BOURNEMOUTH!
Bournemouth’s high press forces and error and they score a fourth.
This is the worst result of Ten Hag’s tenure.

Fernandes booked

Bournemouth fans’ taunts
Bournemouth fans are singing ‘you’re getting sacked in the morning’.
79′ – MUN 0-3 BOUSTEVEN RAILSTON
Triple substitution
Evans, Rashford, Pellistri ON.
Shaw, Antony, Garnacho OFF.

76′ – MUN 0-3 BOUSTEVEN RAILSTON
Another awful result
It’s one step forward and two steps back for United this season. They’ve been unable to put together a consistent run of performances and they’ve struggled to find a way through Bournemouth’s deep line today.
72′ – MUN 0-3 BOUKEY EVENT
GOAL! 3-0 BOURNEMOUTH!
And it’s now three as Bournemouth score twice in quick succession.
How has that happened? United looked bright at the start of the second half.
69′ – MUN 0-2 BOUSTEVEN RAILSTON
Normal service resumes
United needed to build on their win against Chelsea with another good performance and they’ve failed to do that. They’ve been really poor this afternoon and Bournemouth deserve their lead. Normal service has resumed.

67′ – MUN 0-2 BOUKEY EVENT
GOAL! 2-0 BOURNEMOUTH!
Bournemouth double their advantage thanks to a goal from Billing.
United gave the ball away cheaply and that was far too easy.
66′ – MUN 0-1 BOUSTEVEN RAILSTON
What was Dalot doing?
Dalot takes a shot from an impossible angle when the pass to Hojlund was on – poor decision.
63′ – MUN 0-1 BOUSTEVEN RAILSTON
The game is open
There’s space opening up across the pitch, but United need to create some clear-cut chances to capitalise, Bournemouth are happy to protect their lead and counter-attack.

60′ – MUN 0-1 BOUSAMUEL LUCKHURST
Martial was poor again
Even United wouldn’t dare suggest the cheers for Martial were down to his eight-and-a-half years of sterling service. His recall has gone as predictably badly as we all thought it would.
It cannot be pleasant for Martial but he does not bust a gut, his body language is poor and he should not be getting a look-in.
58′ – MUN 0-1 BOUSTEVEN RAILSTON
Bournemouth defending well
United have been much better since half-time but an equaliser is proving to be elusive.
55′ – MUN 0-1 BOUSTEVEN RAILSTON
Hojlund comes on
Loud cheers as Hojlund replaces Martial, who unfortunately did nothing this afternoon.
Hojlund needs a first league goal and it would be great to see him get it here.
53′ – MUN 0-1 BOUSTEVEN RAILSTON
Hojlund coming on
It was only a matter of time and Hojlund is now preparing to come on for Martial.
51′ – MUN 0-1 BOUSAMUEL LUCKHURST
United have upped the tempo
United have been more purposeful in the first four minutes of this half than they were in the entirety of the first half. They have upped the tempo and Bournemouth are already having to resort to some last-ditch defending when there is a lot of time left on the clock.
49′ – MUN 0-1 BOUSTEVEN RAILSTON
McTominay with an attempt
McTominay and Fernandes have just had chances and that’s better from United, who have put Bournemouth under some pressure at the start of this second half.

No changes at the break
Ten Hag made no half-time changes but Hojlund is already warming up.

We’re back under way
Here we go for the second half.

HALF-TIME!
Solanke’s goal is the difference at half-time.
United trail to Bournemouth.

We’re almost at half-time.
42′ – MUN 0-1 BOUSAMUEL LUCKHURST
Solanke has been excellent
Solanke would be an immense upgrade on Martial. He has a presence, he gets chances and he scores goals. He’s scored one and hit the post in under 40 minutes today.
United really do need to make a change at the pause. They have been second best. Some fans on the monitor are yawning.
138439845836
41′ – MUN 0-1 BOUSTEVEN RAILSTON
CHANCE!
Solanke hits the post and he’s been a real threat throughout this first half.
39′ – MUN 0-1 BOUSAMUEL LUCKHURST
Changes are going to be needed
A few other subs have joined Hojlund in the rain. The way it’s going, Ten Hag will have to make an interval change that is tactical, rather than enforced. United have been blunt and Amrabat’s positioning has left them vulnerable to some slick transitions from Bournemouth.
37′ – MUN 0-1 BOUTYRONE MARSHALL
United haven’t built on Chelsea
Hard to tell at the moment if this game tells us more about how bad Chelsea are or United’s inability to rouse themselves. They had a cause to rally behind on Wednesday and played like it. Today it was all about finding their own desire within and they’re not matching the standards they set.
138437485146
35′ – MUN 0-1 BOUSAMUEL LUCKHURST
Hojlund is warming up
Martial has had a shot on target that was harmless. It must be only the second save Neto has had to make and both have been straightforward. Zabarnyi and Senesi have been solid.
Hojlund is warming up and the only one doing so with half time not far off.
33′ – MUN 0-1 BOUSAMUEL LUCKHURST
Some audible groans
There have been some audible groans when the ball has been in the vicinity of Martial but Maguire just lifted the crowd with a fine sliding tackle in his own third and Antony was somehow denied a free-kick just outside the area for what looked like a clear foul. Perhaps United can use that to galvanise them.
