It’s becoming a recurring theme for Manchester United. Impersonate a relegation team for half-an-hour and then play the second half like champions.
Following on from great comebacks against Newcastle and Chelsea, Jose Mourinho’s were at it again on the south coast. Over-run by Bournemouth from the opening whistle, Mourinho admitted to Eddie Howe afterwards United should have been 5-1 down at interval.
Instead, they were level with Anthony Martial equalising against the run of play following Callum Wilson’s opener, and in the second period United were rampant long before substitute Marcus Rashford settled the game in injury-time.
