Manchester United suffered another damaging home setback

Manchester United suffered another damaging setback on Sunday, losing 3-0 at home to Bournemouth in a result that has intensified speculation over Michael Carrick’s future.

The hosts have now gone without a victory since September 19, losing five of their last eight matches. Sitting 16th in the Premier League, just one point above the relegation zone, United are enduring a worrying collapse.

Rayan Rocha opened the scoring shortly after the half-hour mark, punishing United from a set piece. Bournemouth doubled their advantage when Leny Yoro’s costly mistake allowed Marcus Tavernier to finish from close range.

Evanilson completed the rout after capitalising on Senne Lammens’ mistimed challenge, prompting frustrated supporters to leave Old Trafford before full time.

Captain Bruno Fernandes remained on the bench following reported tensions over the team’s tactics. With pressure mounting, Carrick’s position appears increasingly precarious as United search for answers to their ongoing decline.
