The 16th day of the Premier League continued this Saturday late afternoon. The opportunity for Manchester United to build on its good momentum after a victory against Chelsea in midweek (2-1) and a perfect month of November at the end of which Erik Ten Hag and Harry Maguire were respectively elected best coach and best player in the Premier League. However, at home, the Red Devils sank against Bournemouth. While Dominic Solanke (0-1, 5th) quickly gave the Cherries the advantage, the latter took off after the hour mark with two strikes from Philip Billing (0-2, 68th) and Marcos Senesi (0-3, 73rd). Dango Ouattara could even have increased the score in added time but the VAR refused the former Lorient player’s goal. A heavy setback which does not allow Manchester United, still sixth, to continue.
