Worrying footage of Bruno Fernandes in Man United's defeat to Bournemouth has gone viral for all the wrong reasons

Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes' performance against Bournemouth has been highlighted for all the wrong reasons.

On Sunday afternoon, United arrived at Old Trafford looking to build on their win over Manchester City against Andoni Iraola's high-flying Cherries.

However, Bournemouth were the better side from start to finish as goals from Dean Huijsen, Justin Kluivert and Antoine Semenyo sealed a massive 3-0 win for the visitors.

It was an afternoon to forget for Ruben Amorim as he suffered his biggest defeat since taking over from Erik ten Hag as Red Devils boss.

After the match, a compilation of United skipper Fernandes' performance went viral as he struggled to make a positive impact against Bournemouth.

The Portuguese missed three decent chances to score and uncharacteristically misplaced his crosses and passes on multiple occasions.

Reacting on social media, one fan said: "Too many missed chances. His performance today wasn’t really good."

Another tweeted: "Missed a lot of chances. We could've gotten at least 3 goals from him."

A third fan added: "Absolute rubbish that what he displayed today."

Someone else wrote: "Very poor."

However, one fan defended the 30-year-old by saying: "He’s not useless

Just wasn’t at his best today."

The defeat by Bournemouth leaves United in 13th place in the Premier League table, 17 points adrift of leaders Liverpool.

This will be the first time in Premier League history that United will be in the bottom half of the table at Christmas.

Speaking after the match, Amorim said: "It’s so much easier to pass on an idea when you’re winning and you’re scoring and you’re not conceding.

"But it’s also a great privilege to be here, so we have to continue now. Nothing bad lasts forever and nothing good lasts forever, so we have to continue again and be very strong in our ideas, especially in the bad moments. We will do it and try to win the next game."

United will be back in action on Boxing Day when they take on Wolverhampton Wanderers.
