Manchester United suffered a third straight defeat, losing 3-0 to Bournemouth at Old Trafford on Sunday with manager Michael Carrick's future in serious doubt. Rayan and Marcus Tavernier scored in the first half before Evanilson added a third, extending United's winless streak to eight matches across all competitions. The loss came four days after a damaging 4-1 Champions League defeat to Como, intensifying pressure on Carrick after captain Bruno Fernandes was dropped from the squad.
Angry United supporters displayed banners featuring club legends Roy Keane, Eric Cantona and Bryan Robson, venting frustration at ownership during the disappointing display. Bournemouth's victory marked their third 3-0 win at Old Trafford in four seasons, while United fans directed their anger toward the Glazers and co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe as the team trudged off the pitch to jeers.
Liverpool ended their home league struggles with a 2-0 win over Brighton, breaking a streak of winless matches at Anfield. Florian Wirtz opened the scoring in the 17th minute before Alexander Isak doubled the lead four minutes later from a Bradley Barcola cross. The victory marked Liverpool's first home Premier League win of the season following a disappointing title defense.
