Man Utd 0 Bournemouth 3: David McDonnell’s verdict<\/h3>\n

Gary Neville believes that Manchester United’s dismal defeat at home to Bournemouth could have been significantly worse, claiming that the shocking 3-0 scoreline flattered his former side. Red Devils boss Erik ten Hag is under increasing pressure after overseeing a run of 11 defeats in 23 matches so far this season.<\/p>\n

Ten Hag was awarded the Premier League’s Manager of the Month for November after picking up three victories from three, but the inconsistency plaguing United came to the fore in cup competitions, with two defeats and a draw from ties in the Champions League and Carabao Cup.<\/p>\n

The same inconsistency was on full display this week as United followed up their triumph against Chelsea by suffering a miserable 3-0 defeat at home to Bournemouth.<\/p>\n

And Neville, who made over 600 first-team appearances for the Red Devils, believes that Ten Hag got off lightly by seeing his side concede three. “I’ve just watched the highlights on the Sky Sports website and 3-0 looks like a good result!” he wrote on X.<\/p>\n

That followed an earlier post reacting to United’s first ever home defeat against the Cherries, which read: “Consistently inconsistent! An abysmal result.”<\/p>\n

Dominic Solanke, Philip Billing and Marcos Senesi notched for Bournemouth on Saturday, and Dango Ouattara temporarily put United a staggering four goals down before his stoppage-time effort was disallowed for a handball.<\/p>\n
