ANOTHER day, another disappointment at Old Trafford. Manchester United stumbled to yet another draw against Bournemouth, and honestly, the Theatre of Dreams is starting to feel more like the Theatre of Nightmares.

Settling for a point at HOME against the Cherries? In Sir Alex's day, that would've been considered an absolute SHAMBLES. But here we are, folks. Welcome to Ruben Amorim's United.

Same Old Story

Watch the highlights above and tell me that's a team that knows what it's doing. Go on, I'll wait. The lads looked lost, clueless at times, and when you're dropping points to Bournemouth at Old Trafford, you've got SERIOUS problems.

Amad tried his best, bless him. The kid's got talent, no doubt about it. But one player can't carry an entire squad that looks like they've never trained together. The rest of them? Absolute passengers.

Amorim Running Out of Excuses

Listen to Ruben's post-match reaction in that video. More of the same waffle about "process" and "building." Mate, this is MANCHESTER UNITED. We don't do "process." We do TROPHIES. We do WINNING.

The Portuguese gaffer came in with all this hype about his 3-4-3 system and revolutionary football. Revolutionary? More like REVOLTING at times. The fans deserve better than this dross.

Dion Dublin Gets It

Fair play to Dion Dublin in that reaction segment – the man speaks the truth. He's been there, worn the shirt, knows what it means to play for this club. And you can see the pain in his eyes watching this lot stumble around.

The Old Trafford faithful are getting restless, and who can blame them? They pay good money to watch their team, and what do they get? Draws against Bournemouth. BOURNEMOUTH!

The Verdict

Something's got to change, and it's got to change FAST. The January window is coming, and if Amorim doesn't sort this mess out, the board needs to start asking serious questions.

Because right now, settling for a point feels like a defeat. And that tells you everything you need to know about how far this once-great club has fallen.

Absolutely GUTTING.
