Bournemouth 0-1 Manchester United: 5 Men who were poor for the Red Devils

#1 Victor Lindelof

AFC Bournemouth v Manchester United - Premier League

The curious case of Victor Lindelof continues to baffle most United fans. The Swede was United’s best defender last season and was expected to hit a higher gear after the arrival of Harry Maguire. While that has failed to happen, Lindelof’s steady decline in form has shown no signs of slowing down. Against Bournemouth, he had another forgettable day at the office.

The Swede looked threatened by the movement and muscle of the Bournemouth forward line right from the start of the game. Lindelof was continuously dragged out of position by Callum Wilson and Joshua King and looked nervous every time the home team knocked at the door. He was outmuscled quite often on the pitch and his performance put undue pressure on his compatriots at the back. The Swede was also at fault for the goal.

When King received the ball in the box, it was Wan-Bissaka who was marking him, while Lindelof was glaringly out of position. The Swede failed to react and was caught ball watching as King had all the time in the world to bring the ball down, turn and score.
