AFC Bournemouth 1-0 Manchester United - 3 reasons why the Red Devils fell to yet another league defeat away from home | Premier League 2019-20

#3 A lapse in concentration cost the away side dearly

AFC Bournemouth v Manchester United - Premier League

Manchester United dominated the opening exchanges but their inability to convert an early chance coupled with the lack of concentration at the back cost them dearly. In the closing stages of the first half, Josh King was afforded so much time and space on the ball and the Norwegian international took his chance brilliantly for the opening goal of the game.

The likes of Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Harry Maguire weren't alert to the danger and failed to take conclusive action, which proved to be the difference at the end of the day. With the ball looping inside the box, the Manchester United backline weren't alert to the danger, allowing King to pounce for the solitary goal of the game.

Wan-Bissaka and Maguire have been reliable figures at the back for the Red Devils since their big-money moves this summer but the pair could be held culpable for the only goal of the game.
