Fred (On for Antony 86') N/A.
BOURNEMOUTH RATINGS: Neto 7: Brazilian keeper beaten all ends up by his fellow countryman, Casemiro, who opened the scoring with a wonderful bit of improvisation, but got down smartly to deny the same player a second. Also kept out efforts from Weghorst and Fernandes with decent stops.
Adam Smith 6: Showed plenty of attacking intent with a series of marauding runs forward on the right as the Cherries grew into the contest, but his crossing often lacked quality. Getty
Illya Zabarnyi 7: Kept his side in the game when he repelled Wan-Bissaka’s left-footed strike, before throwing himself in front of another strike as Shaw tried his luck. Produced yet more heroics to flick Fernandes’ strike wide. Getty
Marcos Senesi 7: Thought he’d done enough to cut out Eriksen’s clipped forward pass, only to inadvertently cushion the ball down for Casemiro to score. Nearly grabbed a last-gasp leveller with a sweetly-struck volley that flew just over. PA
Lloyd Kelly 7: Kept Antony quiet and got a vital challenge in when he just managed to nip in front of the advancing Eriksen. Caused problems at the other end when his inviting delivery was glanced away by Lindelof with Christie lurking. Getty
Lewis Cook 6: Made himself busy all afternoon with a series of important challenges, the first of which saw him thwart Martial with a well-timed block. Booked for a naughty challenge on Eriksen, and he was perhaps fortunate not to see red. Getty
Jefferson Lerma 5: Struggled to give his side a foothold in a game where he was outclassed by United’s trio of Fernandes, Casemiro and Eriksen. Schooled by Garnacho, but delighted the home faithful when he tried to assist Antony in leaving the field. Getty
David Brooks 8: Brilliant to see the winger make his first start for 20 months. Produced some moments of class too, including a beautiful drop of the shoulder to beat his man on the edge of the box. Later forced a wonder-save from De Gea with a driven effort. AFP
Ryan Christie 7: Showed excellent workrate to track back and get a foot in when the hosts were struggling to stem the tide. Did well to divert Smith’s poor cross towards de Gea’s goal but it was a simple stop for the Spaniard. PA
Jaidon Anthony 6: Whipped in a peach of a cross from the lef early on but there wasn’t a single shirt in the box. Looked to stretch his legs on a couple of occasions but was kept on a tight leash by visitors. Getty
Dominic Solanke 6: Sprang to life in 27th minute when he controlled the ball well under pressure and shrugged off the challenges before testing De Gea. Looped a header onto the roof of the net in first-half stoppage time and later fizzed a low effort across goal. PA
SUBS: Kieffer Moore (On for Brooks 56') 5: Just four Premier League goals this season for the bit-part striker, who wasted a big opportunity to grab a fifth when he placed his effort straight at De Ge, who stood up well at his near post.
Matias Vina (On for Smith 66') 6: A final run-out on home turf for the popular loanee. Showed excellent composure at one point to chest the ball back to his goalkeeper at the back post. AFP
Dango Ouattara (On for Christie 66') 6: Stretched the United defence on a couple of occasions, including a threaded pass to pick out Moore.
MAN UNITED RATINGS: David De Gea 8: Got down low to his left to save from Solanke in first half Better save with his legs from Moore seven minutes from time when the goalkeeper was the last man. Faultless. Getty
Aaron Wan-Bissaka 7: Right-back, yet an important attacking player for United as he overlapped with Antony. Won the ball back, picked Fernandes out with a pass to set up the Portuguese in second half. Dealt well with Bournemouth’s Anthony. Getty
Raphael Varane 7: Strong – as he needed to be – against Solanke. Smart idea to play a ball between the lines towards Sancho just before half-hour mark. Reuters
Victor Lindelof 8: Crucial for the first as he made an interception to win possession back. His header stopped a 33rd minute Bournemouth attempt on goal and he read the balls forward to Solanke well. Solid to the last and praised by his manager. Getty
Luke Shaw 7: Abused for his Southampton connections by Bournemouth fans, he didn’t look in the slightest bit bothered. Stealing a few extra metres on a second half throw in wound the home fans up even more. Read Ouattara’s movement well enough to nullify his threat. Reuters
Casemiro 8: Overhead kick on the spin from six yards out for early goal. Controlled a loose ball to shoot low on target on five minuites before break. Accurate long balls, usually to Antony. Praised by his manager for his movement and for exceeding expectations. Reuters
Christian Eriksen 7: Curled a ball towards the Bournemouth goal which led to the opener. Short corner attempt with Shaw didn’t work. AFP
Bruno Fernandes 6: Helped United dominate in the first half but gave the ball away to assist a 35th-minute attack. Volleyed shot on target 15 minutes from time, then a struck an 84th-minute effort which was anything but. AFP
Jadon Sancho 6: Worked hard. Came deep, supported Fernandes. Neat, but final ball didn’t come off enough in the first half. Tried to find pockets of space in front of the home defence. PA
Antony 7: Went down heavily in the first half after a challenge. Gave the ball away to set up one first-half Bournemouth attack. Weak shot bobbled across goal just before hour mark. Needs to be more effective in front of goal. Getty
Anthony Martial 6: One shot in first half went well over. Nudged towards goal in the first attack after the break and led an attack with a double one-two on 56. He was substituted ten seconds later. AFP
SUBS: Wout Weghorst (On for Martial 57') 8: Had a shot which came back off the keeper and played a neat ball in the subsequent attack. Defended to stop a Bournemouth attack, then set up McTominay. Getty
Alejandro Garnacho (On for Sancho 72') 7: Came on to chants of ‘Viva Garnacho’. Skinned Lermana to create a chance, but his ball across goal was a poor one. Reuters
