“I saw him talking to Bournemouth manager during half time, he should be hold responsible for Man United loss”- Man united icon criticizes ‘sluggish and slow’ Man utd star who’s error gave the win to Bournemouth last today
Manchester United fans expressed their frustrations as they booed their team at half-time as they trailed against Bournemouth.
Erik ten Hag’s side returned to Old Trafford following their crucial midweek win against Chelsea.
It was a result that saw them rise into the top six of the Premier League table following a fluctuant start to the season.
The visit of Bournemouth, a side who started the day in 15th, would have spelled a huge chance for United to gain some momentum.
However, any progress that may have been made in the 2-1 victory over Chelsea came undone just five minutes into the match.
A poor pass from captain Bruno Fernandes was pounced upon by the visitors, with Lewis Cook regaining possession.
He then sent a low ball into the box and found Dominic Solanke, who scored with a composed backheel finish in front of the Stretford End.
Describing the goal for talkSPORT, Adrian Durham said: “Cook won the ball because Man United were so casual. They thought nothing was going to happen.
“They thought Bournemouth would sit in their positions. I don’t think Erik ten Hag is necessarily ready for this game. Bournemouth have taken him by surprise.”
As expected, United tried to find a response before the end of the first-half but couldn’t take any of their chances.
Bournemouth even had the ball in the back of the net for a second time but Marcus Tavernier’s goal was ruled out for a Solanke offside.
United fans were then heard booing the home side at the half-time whistle after what was a poor showing on their home turf.
It’s not the first time the Old Trafford crowd have been vocal in their frustrations this season amid disappointing results and decisions.
Half-time boos were heard in their home clash against Brentford when they were 1-0 down, a match they actually won 2-1 late on.
