How Manchester United rated on a frustrating afternoon against Bournemouth

Michael Carrick – Didn’t have his finest game in a Manchester United shirt on Saturday, giving up possession too easily and seeming a bit off the pace when chasing Bournemouth’s attacking midfielders. Was withdrawn from the game with 20 minutes to go for a more attacking option. 6.

Paul Pogba – Didn’t see much of the ball during the first-half but advanced further forward once Bournemouth went down to ten men, testing Boruc with a curling 20-yard strike. Found pockets of space in the visitor’s midfield and created the most chances of anyone on the pitch. 7.

Wayne Rooney – Returned to the starting line-up for his 550^th appearance for United and caused the visitors all sorts of problems with an energetic performance that rolled back the years. Found space regularly and made Boruc save well three times – unlucky not to get on the score-sheet. 7.
