Manchester United entertained Bournemouth at Old Trafford earlier tonight as they looked to earn a victory at home in the Premier League. The Red Devils made a slow start to the game and conceded the opening goal in the fifth minute when Dominic Solanke found the back of the net with a brilliant finish. Man United failed to mount a comeback and were trailing 1-0 at the half-time break.
Philipp Billing doubled Bournemouth’s advantage with a good header in the 68th minute before Marcos Senesi killed the game off just five minutes later. The contest ended with the Mancunian club earning a dismal 3-0 loss in front of their home fans.
