RUBEN AMORIM’S Manchester United staggered into Christmas on the back of a chastening 3-0 Premier League loss at home to Bournemouth today.

Dean Huijsen became the latest player to capitalise on United’s lax set-piece defending, before a Justin Kluivert penalty and Antoine Semenyo strike sealed a stunning win that brought boos from the home fans at full-time.
