Former Manchester United striker Josh King hit a superb winner for Bournemouth against his old club on Saturday.
United made a positive start after going four unbeaten but their new-found belief seemed to evaporate in driving rain and swirling wind on the south coast.
The hosts gradually got a foothold in the game and King struck moments before the break to claim Bournemouth's first goal in nearly six hours.
The former United trainee, 27, was allowed to chest down Adam Smith's cross into the box before turning Aaron Wan-Bissaka and volleying between David de Gea's legs from close range.
The Cherries carried that momentum into the second half and Harry Wilson twice went close to doubling their lead as United struggled to regain the dominance they enjoyed early on.
The late introduction of Mason Greenwood lifted United and the young striker hit the post moments after coming on but they could not prevent Bournemouth securing their first win in six games, which sent them back above the Red Devils to sixth in the Premier League table before the rest of Saturday's games.
