Who can change the atmosphere of Manchester United (hereinafter referred to as Manchester United), which is broken as it is broken.
Manchester United, led by head coach Hoobeng Amorim, suffered a shocking 0-3 home defeat against Bournemouth in the 17th round of the 2024/25 Premier League at Old Trafford in Manchester, England on the 22nd (Korea time).
As a result, Manchester United ranked 13th with six wins, four draws and seven losses (22 points), while Bournemouth (8 wins, four draws and five losses, 28 points) continued its momentum and jumped to fifth place with no losses in five consecutive games. Manchester United is now in a situation where it has to worry about a drop in the relegation zone, not a win or advance to the European match.
Amorim pulled out a 3-4-2-1 formation. Andre Onana defended the goal, and Nusair Mazraoui, Harry Maguire, Lisandro Martinez, Bruno Fernandes, Joshua Girkji, Tyrrell Malacia, Ahmad Diallo, Diogo Dalo, Manuel Ugarte, and Kobe Maino were among the players.
The choice of Bournemouth coach Andoni Iraola to counter this was a 4-2-3-1 formation. Kepa Arrizabalaga wore goalkeeper gloves, with Dean Houssun, Milosi Kerkez, Ivaniusong, Ryan Christie, Dango Watara, Tyler Adams, Adam Smith, Justin Clawybert, Antoine Semeno and Ilya Jabarney starting.
Bournemouth opened the scoring. In the 29th minute of the first half, the lower line scored a header off Christie’s long-range free kick from the right side, sending the ball into the net. Including the match against Tottenham Hotspur in the week of 3-4, the team continued to display instability in set pieces, before conceding goals in the same pattern.
In the 41st minute of the first half, Manchester United missed a decisive opportunity. Mainu, located in front of the arc, connected the pass to Fernandez, who was rushing to the left, and Fernandez, who took over the ball, fired a shot without delay, but was blocked by Kepa’s good defense.
In the second half of the game, the fighting spirit tilted further toward Bournemouth. In the 15th minute of the second half, Mazrawi attempted an unreasonable tackle inside the penalty box, and Clawybert fell and the referee declared a penalty. Clawybert, who was the kicker, scored with a cool shot aimed at the center of the goal.
Bournemouth sealed the net with a flexible connection. In the 18th minute of the second half, Ivaniusong stabbed an exquisite pass to Watara, who penetrated to the left, and Semeno, who received a cutback later, connected with a left-footed non-stop shot to break the net. 안전놀이터
Manchester United fizzled out even a few chances, leaving a lingering impression. In the 20th minute of the second half, Kepa caught Alejandro Garnacho’s shot that had a one-on-one chance through quick penetration. Rasmus Hoylun’s shot in the box in the 24th minute of the second half was also not enough to lose Kepa’s timing.
