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.

Van de Beek limps towards the touchline, but it seems unlikely he will continue. United are temporarily playing with 10 men.

A concern for United as Van de Beek stays down following an accidental collision with the sliding Senesi. The midfielder is now receiving medical attention.

Bournemouth look to counter with Billing seeking out the run of Solanke. However, Lindelof tracks his run well and tidies up for situation for United.

Eriksen's fierce delivery looks like it may trouble Travers, but Senesi is well-placed to deflect it behind for a corner. The Bournemouth defence subsequently stand firm to deal with the threat.
