Man United: Bournemouth victory perfect evidence of the progress made under Solskjaer
To fathom United’s evolution, the Bournemouth game sketched a perfect picture.
Chasing the game 1-0, previous sides would have struggled to stamp their authority and rescue points or even a point. In the previous encounter between these two clubs, the Cherries managed to stifle Solskjaer’s men after gaining the early lead via Josh King.
Since then, the coaching staff’s astute work behind the scenes has imprinted mental resilience and belief among the squad members. The vibrant team-spirit and confidence allowed the players to express themselves as they smashed five past the side languishing in the bottom half.

Paul Pogba and Marcus Rashford, managing to recover from their injuries during the lockdown period, have added silk to Manchester United’s steel. Considering the recent form, any side would have to work hard to gain something against Solskjaer’s troops.
Notwithstanding Manchester United’s recent upturn in form, things could go down south in a trice, taking into account how flat the Red Devils looked in the absence of key players. This only depicts the need to reinforce the squad during the impending transfer window.
