How Man United lost to Bournemouth
The hosts were out of sorts from the first minute with rushed and misplaced passes and a shaky defensive display.
They were punished again with a set piece through Dean Huijsen, who headed in Ryan Christie's free-kick in the 29th minute.
Things got worse for Man United in the second half as Noussair Mazraoui conceded a penalty after fouling Justin Kluivert.
The Dutchman converted from the spot kick in the 61st minute, but more was to come. Ghana international Antoine Semenyo tapped in Bournemouth's third two minutes later.
The Red Devils tried to mount a comeback but fell short. Amorim has delivered mixed results since taking over from Erik ten Hag last month.
"It's hard. In this context, it's hard to push for two or three wins. We're trying. But this game was hard. Without any situation we suffered again at set-pieces. We were a little bit nervous, the stadium," Amorim said via Sky Sports.
Man United set unwanted records
According to the BBC, Man United will be in the bottom half of the Premier League for the first time since the 1989/1990 season.
Andoni Iraola's side also became the second team to win successive away matches against Man United at Old Trafford by three-plus goals after Burnley in 1961 and 1962, per Opta Joe.
Moreover, the Red Devils have also conceded nine goals from set-pieces. Only Wolves have conceded more (14), per Who Scored.
Why Rashford was dropped
TUKO.co.ke earlier reported that Amorim explained why he dropped Rashford for a third straight game.
Amorim said it was his decision to leave the England star out for a third game. Rashford recently expressed his desire to leave the club.
