Ten Hag was celebrating being named Premier League Manager of the Month on Friday but had little to cheer on Saturday as his Manchester United team were embarrassed at home by Bournemouth. The Cherries ran out deserved 3-0 winners to inflict a seventh Premier League defeat of the season on Manchester United. Lineker was quick to suggest the result could spell the end of the road for Ten Hag at Old Trafford despite his recent accolade.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Saturday's result is another setback for United after a promising 2-1 win over Chelsea in midweek. The Dutchman is now facing a daunting run of fixtures, with Bayern Munich up next in a must-win Champions League clash. The Red Devils then head to Anfield to take on bitter rivals Liverpool in the Premier League. United will need no reminding they lost 7-0 to the Reds on Merseyside back in March, and will be without captain Bruno Fernandes for the match due to suspension.
