Man Utd beaten 3-0 by BournemouthLost 35 home games since Sir Alex retiredOne more than the Scot in his entire 21 yearsWHAT HAPPENED?

Old Trafford was once again breached on Saturday afternoon and this time by Bournemouth as the Cherries thrashed the hosts 3-0 with goals from Dominic Solanke, Philip Billing and Marcos Senesi. Erik ten Hag's men have been stubbornly inconsistent which saw them succumb to their 35th home defeat in the Premier League, one more than they lost under Sir Alex in 21 years through 405 games.

Since Sir Alex retired, United have played 199 league games under different managers in charge – David Moyes, Jose Mourinho, Louis van Gaal, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, Ralf Rangnick and Ten Hag. But none of them have been able to restore the lost glory of the Ferguson era.

DID YOU KNOW?

It was Bournemouth's first-ever top-flight win over United at Old Trafford which further highlights the woes of Ten Hag's troops. Moreover, it was the first time that the Red Devils lost a game by three goals or more to a team in the bottom half of the table in Premier League history – another damning stat which shows their dramatic fall from grace.

Despite winning the Premier League Manager of the Month award for November, Ten Hag's future has suddenly come under scrutiny after the latest defeat. The Dutch tactician has his work cut out as United face a make-or-break Champions League clash against Bayern Munich on Wednesday. If they emerge triumphant, it will be a massive boost to Ten Hag's survival chances at Old Trafford. But he can hardly rest as they next head to Anfield to face old foes Liverpool in the Premier League.
