#2 Red Devils' recent travels taking a toll on their performance
Manchester United's clash against Bournemouth was their 4th away game in the last 10 days. During this period, they had to travel to Belgrade, Norwich, London and then Bournemouth. Moreover, due to a lack of squad depth, they had to resort to playing the same players in every game.

This continuous travelling and a lack of rest took a toll on the performances of some players against Bournemouth. Scott McTominay, who has been brilliant for Manchester United since the start of this season, was far from his usual best and looked out of sorts against the Cherries. Moreover, both Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Harry Maguire also seemed to struggle in the game against Bournemouth. All these players have been involved in every game since the international break and look to be in a desperate need of a break.
#1 United just can’t play through a low-block
Manchester United have done extremely well against top opposition and struggled against those who are at the bottom of the league this season. The reason for that has been their inability to break opposition down who sit in a low-block. After scoring, Bournemouth did the same and sat in a low-block, making it hard for Manchester United to get through.
The Red Devils have been lacking a player who possesses the ability to find a defence-splitting pass, and the absence of Paul Pogba, who is by-far their most creative player isn’t helping either. Moreover, they also lack options off the bench who could provide something different on the pitch. Their inability to play through a low-block has made Manchester United way too predictable to play against and Solskjaer needs to come up with a solution soon.
