Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag admits he didn't see their Bournemouth defeat coming.

A 3-0 loss at Old Trafford left Ten Hag baffled afterwards.

He later said: "Of course I'm disappointed definitely I expected something different. I hoped before the game we could build on the performance and result against Chelsea. So I'm very disappointed about the way we started the game.

"We did for a long time everything to get back in the game. We had one [warning] shot, almost a penalty [to Bournemouth], then in the build-up we made a mistake and we were not good enough in defence. We put a lot of effort in to return in the game but the brilliance and the movement in the box were not there to get the equaliser. After 2-0 we broke down so we have to do things better."

He also said, As I say, the way we started was no good it was poor in the first five minutes of the game, especially against an opponent like today, a very good transition team. We gave them the perfect circumstances so it shouldn't happen. We did everything to return in the game, we had a lot of attacks, but we didn't get to a point to return in the game, though we had opportunities."
