In pictures: Man Utd v Bournemouth<\/h3>\n

Former Tottenham and Aston Villa boss Tim Sherwood has laid into Manchester United midfielder Sofyan Amrabat for his showing against Bournemouth. The Cherries ran out 3-0 winners on Saturday to notch their first ever victory at Old Trafford, inviting fierce criticism onto manager Erik ten Hag.<\/p>\n

Buoyed by a full 90 minutes in Wednesday’s impressive 2-1 win over Chelsea, Amrabat was selected from the start against Bournemouth, but it didn’t take long for his afternoon to take a turn for the worse.<\/p>\n

An early strike from Dominic Solanke set the tone, with Philip Billing and Marcos Senesi joining their team-mate on the scoresheet after the break. Dango Ouattara temporarily put the visitors a dizzying four goals up before his effort was chalked off for a handball.<\/p>\n

Boos rang around Old Trafford at the final whistle, and Sherwood, who was on punditry duties for Sky Sports<\/em>, pointed the finger at one squad member in particular.<\/p>\n

“Amrabat is by far their worst player,” he told Soccer Saturday<\/em>. “Maybe [he started the game] because he was one of their big-money signings.”<\/p>\n

Sherwood went on to suggest that the Moroccan should be demoted to the bench and replaced by youngster Kobbie Mainoo, who has impressed when given first-team chances in recent weeks. “The kid deserves to play,” he continued. “It will be interesting to find out why [Ten Hag] is not playing him.”<\/p>\n
