You can only beat what lies in front of you and Marco Rose’s players never relinquished control against a rotten impersonation of a Milan side. The visitors resembled holograms even before Mike Maignan, their goalkeeper, rendered their task impossible with a deserved sending-off in the first half.By then Justin Kluivert had given Bournemouth the lead with a penalty and it was another spot-kick from Marcus Tavernier, given after Maignan’s rush of blood, that underlined their overwhelming superiority. Amine Adli applied the garnish with a late free-kick and it meant an abject return to British shores for Ruben Amorim, who would have been excused seeing this particular week as the opportunity to make a point. On this evidence Manchester United, to whom Bournemouth travel on Sunday, share more than a few similarities with the modern version of Milan.

Main contenders for the Manchester United hot seatWith Michael Carrick’s future at Old Trafford a matter of some debate, we examine the credentials of those who could succeed himThe German was of interest to Manchester City while Omar Berrada was part of the hierarchy on the other side of town. He is highly thought of and would come with an impressive CV for a 39-year-old, having taken charge of Bayern Munich and Germany. Nagelsmann is regarded as an innovator who is very demanding of his players and builds teams to press relentlessly, a concept not currently used at United, as Bruno Fernandes will testify. His spell with Germany was underwhelming, concluding with a 2026 World Cup last-32 defeat by Paraguay, and at Bayern – with an exceptional squad – he won the Bundesliga in his only full season and was sacked the following March with the team second and still in the Champions League.
