Man United are Mocked after Botching Bournemouth-Inspired Kick-Off Move During Win Over Liverpool
- 2 years ago
Fans took to social media to mock Manchester United for attempting to score straight from the start during a 2-1 win over Liverpool on Monday night.
Bournemouth came up with the move last season that sees a team go from their own kick-off to the opposing penalty area in just four passes.
The Cherries became the pioneers of the move when they scored straight from the start at Fulham in December last year.
United tried to replicate the routine to start the second half against Liverpool, but it all went wrong.
Bruno Fernandes passed the ball to McTominay, who returned the favor before the Portuguese midfielder missed the next pass and Liverpool took possession almost immediately.
Fans saw the funny side of things as they took to social media for a laugh. One said: 'Lol, we tried to do the initial routine and Bruno ruined it.'
"Big fan of Man United being the first team to mess up that opening routine where everyone seems to be scoring," said a third fan.
Despite spoiling the play, United had a night to remember as they picked up their first points of the season thanks to goals from Jadon Sancho and Marcus Rashford.
