Although we won them at Home but I have never played against such a dangerously aggressive player like Him in my premier league career before”, Antoine Semenyo reveals the ONE Man United player that impressed Him today – Not Fernandez and Not Mainoo.
Manchester United suffered a humbling 3-0 loss to Bournemouth, leaving supporters disappointed and critics unimpressed with the team’s display. The match showcased defensive blunders, squandered chances, and a general lack of team cohesion. Here’s an evaluation of individual performances and key moments from this dismal encounter.
Goalkeeper Andre Onana received a rating of 4 for a night to forget. He was easily beaten on all three goals, struggled with decision-making, and frustrated fans with his slow distribution. Despite making some routine saves, his inability to command the defense left United exposed.
Noussair Mazraoui earned a 2, struggling throughout the match. His reckless foul on Justin Kluivert resulted in a penalty, and his positioning and inability to recover added pressure on the backline. Harry Maguire, rated 4, displayed inconsistent play, with occasional clearances overshadowed by sloppy moments and a lack of authority.
Lisandro Martinez, scoring 3.5, failed to track Antoine Semenyo for Bournemouth’s third goal, looking outpaced and lacking his usual tenacity. Diogo Dalot earned a 5, holding his ground defensively but contributing little to the attack.
Midfielder Manuel Ugarte stood out with a 7, showcasing great tackling and game reading, providing brief control spells. However, his substitution highlighted United’s midfield vulnerability. Kobbie Mainoo received a 4, struggling to adapt to Amorim’s system, showing poor possession and link-up play.
Tyrell Malacia scored a 3, enduring a tough first half, giving away unnecessary fouls, and struggling with Bournemouth’s wingers. Amad Diallo managed a 6, offering moments of creativity, yet lacked a decisive final product.
Bruno Fernandes, with a 6.5, led the attack but missed three crucial first-half chances. His persistence couldn’t overcome United’s overall failings. Joshua Zirkzee earned a dismal 2, contributing almost nothing offensively or defensively.
Substitutes Leny Yoro and Alejandro Garnacho both scored 5s, showing limited impact. Yoro could have defended better against Dango Ouattara’s run, while Garnacho’s energy was let down by poor finishing. Rasmus Højlund scored a 6, injecting energy and forcing a good save but arriving too late to change the result.
This defeat spotlighted deep issues across United’s lineup, with defensive lapses, attacking inefficiency, and tactical disarray under Ruben Amorim. Immediate improvements and strategic adjustments are essential, as fans seek accountability and significant progress in upcoming fixtures.
