Dominic Solanke, Philip Billing, and Marcos Senesi all scored goals to secure the three points for Bournemouth, who moved up to 13th place in the Premier League standings and extended their winning streak to five games in the top division.

Ten Hag was blamed by a number of supporters for the result, slamming his ‘baffling’ tactical decisions during the game.

Meanwhile, United super-fan and popular YouTuber Mark Goldbridge ripped into the players, claiming that they looked out of their depth.

One of those who came under fire for their performance was Martial, who was given the nod up front ahead of £72 million summer signing Rasmus Hojlund.

However, Martial was replaced in the 55th minute to a chorus of boos, with supporters clearly unimpressed with the Frenchman’s contribution in attack.

One particular moment has caught the eye of supporters, when Martial appeared to just stand in the 18-yard-box unaware of the play going on around him.

Replying to the video, one person joked: “This is literally like watching 42 year old, overweight me trying to play football with some of the lads I do. Don’t jump match because my knees are shot, and reactions are slow because I’m old… BUT THIS GUY IS PAID 250k A WEEK”

While another chimed in: “I think Martial is the laziest player in the history of football.”

However, other supporters were less critical of the forward, claiming that he was simply being used as a scapegoat for United’s poor performances.

One person tweeted: “What do you expect him to do? It was a poor ball in then bounced no where near him the other times? Just a weird tweet all around.”
