His side was outperformed in every aspect by Andoni Iraola’s Cherries.

Ian Whittell from SunSport has shared his player ratings for the Manchester United squad…

Andre Onana – 5
Displayed signs of uncertainty with the ball, with his tendency to hold onto it for too long evident to the United supporters.

It was a tough match for the goalkeeper, who had several rocky moments, necessitating two attempts to deal with long-range shots.

Noussair Mazraoui – 4
Showed considerable frustration over the penalty he conceded, but finding justifications for his actions proved difficult.

He was caught off guard, panicking and bringing down Justin Kluivert from behind, which compounded his already lackluster performance.

Harry Maguire – 4
Consistently found himself trailing the play and struggling to keep his opponents at bay, with Evanilson outmaneuvering him throughout the match.

Ruben Amorim believes that Maguire fits well into his three-at-the-back strategy, but opinions on this topic are mixed.

Lisandro Martinez – 5
Failed to react as Semenyo netted Bournemouth’s third goal, marking yet another defensive blunder for United.

Like many of his defensive teammates, he seems to be grappling with the new system and struggles to perform even basic tasks.

Diogo Dalot – 6
Made a few solid blocks and attempted to contribute to attacking plays from the wing-back position, although his impact was minimal.

On a day when United’s defense faltered once more, he was not the principal offender.

Manuel Ugarte
Picked up a yellow card for a cynical foul on Kluivert and often had trouble coping with Bournemouth’s attackers.

Much of the match went by him unnoticed, and he was substituted before the hour mark as United sought to shift the game’s momentum.

Kobbie Mainoo – 6
While he, like many teammates, made some unforced mistakes, his effort and determination were praiseworthy.

He created a significant chance by dispossessing Dean Huijsen and setting up Bruno Fernandes, but he also lost possession, leading to Bournemouth’s third goal.

Tyrell Malacia – 3
A poor touch early on elicited audible reactions from the home crowd, marking the beginning of a series of careless moments from the returning full-back.

It was almost inevitable that he would concede the free-kick from which the visitors scored first, and he was taken off at halftime.

Amad Diallo – 7
Capitalized on the Rashford controversy and had a chance to generate excitement at Old Trafford early, but wasted a good opportunity by shooting directly at the keeper.

Even though it didn’t match his derby performance, he still looked like United’s best bet for finding the net.

Bruno Fernandes – 8
Now playing in a higher and wider role, sparking a conversation about whether this is the most effective deployment of his talents.

In the last five minutes of the first half alone, he created three promising chances that could have leveled the score.

Joshua Zirkzee – 5
Handed an opportunity ahead of Rasmus Hojlund as a reward for his recent form, but this performance was underwhelming.

He was closest to Dean Huijsen when the latter scored, although United’s chaotic defending raised questions about his culpability.

Substitutes
Leny Yoro (for Malacia, 46) – 4
Came on as part of a necessary defensive reshuffle at halftime by Amorim but failed to provide any stability.

Alejandro Garnacho (for Ugarte, 54) – 5
Had a chance when he found himself clear on goal just after Bournemouth’s third strike but shot directly at Kepa.

Rasmus Hojlund (for Zirkzee, 54) – 6
Showed signs of being a potential scorer, managing to force Kepa into one notable save.

Substitutes (unused): Altay Bayindir, Casemiro, Toby Collyer, Christian Eriksen, Jonny Evans, Antony.
