Summary
Three Bournemouth goals from Rayan, Marcus Tavernier and Evanilson deepened Manchester United’s crisis, leaving Carrick facing possible dismissal after another home humiliation.
Forty-five days have passed since United’s last win, and the defeat came after Carrick dropped captain Bruno Fernandes for “pure football” reasons amid a widening internal rift.
Two defensive errors set up Bournemouth’s first-half control — Ayden Heaven’s foul preceded Rayan’s opener, then Leny Yoro slipped before Tavernier made it 2-0.
Old Trafford boos targeted the players and unused substitute Fernandes, while chants of “sacked in the morning” underscored how sharply support has turned against Carrick’s side.
Bournemouth’s fourth straight win contrasted with a United team hovering above the drop zone, with Eddie Howe reported open to taking over if Carrick is removed.
