Bournemouth turned Old Trafford into their own playground, sweeping aside a woeful Manchester United 3-0 in a performance that could easily have yielded even more goals. Four wins on the bounce, four clean sheets and the Cherries are flying, whilst United sink deeper into turmoil.

Bournemouth piled more misery on a Manchester United side in free fall with a sensational 3-0 victory at Old Trafford, delivering a performance that was every bit as dominant as the scoreline suggests, and arguably deserved an even greater margin of victory. Marco Rose's rampant Cherries tore through a disjointed and desperately poor United side, exposing their frailties time and again in a ruthless display of attacking football. With four consecutive victories and four clean sheets to their name, Bournemouth are building serious momentum, while United's troubles show little sign of easing.

Djordje Petrovic

Another clean sheet for the Serbian and another game where the Cherries largely kept their opponents chances to a minimum. Petrovic is doing all he needs to do right now and collected many crosses with ease. 7/10

Adam Smith

A performance full of desire and grit as ever from the skipper, coping with any Man Utd pressure in top fashion. 7/10

James Hill

Outrageously strong performance from Hill at the back, he won pretty much everything. Anytime the hosts tried to force an attack it felt like Hill was there to stop them. 10/10

Antonio Silva

Again the Cherries summer signing looked quality at the heart of the visitors' defence. Antonio and Hill are really starting to form a formidable partnership. 8/10

Adrien Truffert

The French full back was integral to Bournemouth's second and won the majority of his duels all afternoon long. 8/10

Tyler Adams

Strong, energetic and calm in possession, another day at the office for the American captain in the middle of the park. 7/10

Lewis Cook

Lewis once again showing he can step up in Alex Scott's absence with another impressive showing. 8/10

Marcus Tavernier

A delightful showing from Tavernier which once again saw him find the net. Marcus is enjoying the season and certainly enjoys performing at Old Trafford too. 8/10

Rayan

An outstanding performance for the Brazilian attacker, with his direct running causing the hosts constant problems. Rayan pretty much bullied the United defenders throughout and his opening came at the perfect time for the Cherries. 9/10

Justin Kluivert

Always a threat in transitions and Justin's press up the top end of the pitch shouldn't go unnoticed. 7/10

Evanilson

Evanilson really is a man on fire right now, with no defender seemingly able to cope with the forward. His and Bournemouth's third goal sealed it and the finish was simply sublime, exactly what the number nine deserved. Eva could well be one of the leagues most underrated centre forwards. 9/10

SUBS

Solid cameos by Bafode Diakite, Ryan Christie, Ben Gannon-Doak and Amine Adli, and special mention to Eli Junior Kroupi, who returned for the first time this season.
