Manchester United vs AFC Bournemouth LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction
Manchester United 3-0 Bournemouth: Casemiro, Luke Shaw and Marcus Rashford all score as Red devils cruise to victory
Manchester United made it four wins from four without conceding in all competitions since the World Cup break as they cruised to a 3-0 victory over lowly Bournemouth to consolidate their hold on fourth spot.
Chances were few and far between in the Manchester rain in the first half, but Brazilian midfielder Casemiro did make one count by volleying home from a free-kick to give United the lead in the 23rd minute.
Bournemouth never really threatened to get an equaliser, with the game effectively over as a contest after a rare goal from England full-back Luke Shaw doubled the hosts’ advantage early in the second half.
United missed a flurry of late chances to add a third before the club’s top scorer this season, Marcus Rashford, added one more to his tally late on to put the seal on another impressive victory for Erik ten Hag’s side.

United want a third goal to put the result beyond doubt. Fernandes squeezes a low attempt on target from a tight angle, but Travers is equal to it.

JUST WIDE! Bournemouth counter and look to pull a goal back. Anthony leads the charge and drills a low effort marginally wide of the far post.

TRAVERS AGAIN! United continue to threaten and although a cross is missed by Rashford, the ball carries through to Garnacho. But Travers reacts well to push his volley away.

GOOD SAVE! Dalot looks to get in on the act and put the contest to bed. Travers has to be alert to push the Portugal defender's fierce effort over.
