Ruben Amorim’s Side Impress in Premier League Summer Series
Manchester United delivered a dominant performance to defeat Bournemouth 4-1 in the Premier League Summer Series at Soldier Field, Chicago. Despite not having Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo available, the Red Devils controlled the game from start to finish, showcasing their improved tactical shape under manager Ruben Amorim.
Early Dominance with Goals from Hojlund and Dorgu
Rasmus Hojlund, the lively Manchester United forward, set the tone early with a header that gave his team the lead. Patrick Dorgu doubled the advantage before halftime, as United outplayed Bournemouth throughout the first half.
Second-Half Goals Seal Victory for United
Amad Diallo extended United’s lead in the second half, making it 3-0. Ethan Williams added a fourth as he came on as a substitute, wrapping up a convincing win for Amorim’s men.
Late Consolation Goal for Bournemouth
Matthijs de Ligt scored a late consolation goal for Bournemouth, diverting the ball past goalkeeper Tom Heaton, but it was too little, too late for Andoni Iraola’s side. United were deserved winners, showing better cohesion and sharper play throughout.
No Mbeumo or Cunha, but United Thrived
While United could not count on Bryan Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha – the latter missing due to ‘fatigue’ – their absence did not affect the performance. Ruben Amorim’s side looked comfortable, and their tactical organization was evident.
Building Momentum Ahead of Everton Clash
The victory adds to United’s 2-1 win over West Ham in their opening fixture of the Premier League Summer Series. If United manage to beat Everton in their final game, they will lift the trophy. More importantly, the performance showed signs that the players are becoming more comfortable with Amorim’s system as they build momentum for the new season.
