Speaking to BBC Match of the Day post-match, O'Neil said "that was us", adding he was "pleased with the performance". Marcus Rashford then rounded off the scoring, tapping into an empty net after a Bruno Fernandes pass, to score in three successive Old Trafford league games for the first time. Despite that the Dutchman was unhappy with his side's display, saying: "Today it was not our best game. Games against the likes of United are not going to decide Bournemouth's Premier League future, but manager Gary O'Neil wanted a reaction after "the worst" performance of his reign against Crystal Palace on New Year's Eve. Questions were asked about whether he was a Ten Hag signing, but he has started the Reds' past 10 Premier League games - a run which has seven wins and two draws, alongside a defeat at Aston Villa.

I get that people have a go at Maguire at times unfairly but I can see why otherwise a good performance but he was very poor today he gave a corner away for no reason and we nearly conceded on the counter only for Stacey to hit it wide. Hopefully they are enjoying it at the moment but I feel there is a lot more to come and hopefully we can keep putting smiles on people's faces.He ghosted in behind the Bournemouth defence, opened his body and steered Eriksen's pinpoint cross from the left into the top corner.

Manchester United defender Luke Shaw says the "belief and confidence" is back at Old Trafford after they stretched their winning run in all competitions to six games with a comfortable victory over a hapless Bournemouth in the Premier League. United had started slowly, having a lot of possession in their defensive third but, once they found the opener, a seventh successive home win in all competitions never felt in doubt. They doubled their lead four minutes into the second period as Shaw, playing in his more accustomed left-back role again, swept home an Alejandro Garnacho cut-back to complete a beautiful free-flowing move.The England left-back started the move on the edge of his own box, before tucking home from the penalty spot.

United host neighbours Man City in their next league game on 14 January, and could end that game above their city rivals, which would be a strong indication of the improvement they are making under Ten Hag. One negative for United was a first-half injury sustained by midfielder Donny van de Beek, with Ten Hag saying "we need to wait 24 hours, but it is not looking very good". The Monday Night Club discuss whether Jude Bellingham is England's best talent since Paul Gascoigne, after he was named best young player at Monday's Ballon d'Or ceremony. I know that we are just approaching the halfway point in the number of games played, but it looks like the top four teams are pretty much set. On the same day Ronaldo retired to Saudi Arabia, a rejuvenated and motivated United looked once again a complete package.It broke the game open after a tentative start and that allowed Shaw to score a magnificent end-to-end goal. We feel like the belief and confidence is back, and you can feel it around the place, not just with the players and the staff but you can feel it in the stadium and around the fans. Funds are available for new players in the January transfer window, and a creative spark will likely feature high on O'Neil's wishlist with the Cherries looking toothless for large periods. To concede from a set-piece, after limiting United in the early exchanges, will frustrate O'Neil, as will a goal so close to his half-time team talk. With continued discipline and the team playing as a well-oiled football engine, Man U can beat any team.

Another good United win, but instead of posting something constructive about the team or game, you choose to mention Liverpool. The second goal did seem to wake Bournemouth up, with three shots on target following in a minute, but there will surely be doubt creeping in on the south coast, despite new chairman Bill Foley insisting the Cherries "will not be relegated" external-link last week.They stay fourth, but join third-placed Newcastle on 35 points, and, perhaps most importantly, have opened up a five-point cushion on fifth-placed Tottenham.
