The Red Devils are ridiculed for messing up a Bournemouth-inspired kick-off play during their victory over Liverpool, saying that “Only Man United could muck that up so terribly.” Manchester United attempted to score against Liverpool right away as fans booed Bruno Fernandes for his “butchered” pass and “f***ed up” second-half strategy.
When Bruno Fernandes underhit a pass, Liverpool immediately took control.

The sequence was created by Bournemouth during a game against Fulham last year.

Social media users made fun of Manchester United for trying to score right away in the 2-1 victory over Liverpool on Monday night.

Last season, Bournemouth invented a technique that allows a club to travel just four passes from their own kickoff to the opponent’s penalty area.

When the Cherries scored right away at Fulham in December of last year, they were the move’s innovators.

Manchester United tried a move that might have allowed them to score right away.

However, Bruno Fernandes (centre) made a mistake with his ball, and Liverpool quickly regained control.

The routine that United used to start the second half against Liverpool didn’t work out as planned.

Scott McTominay received the ball from Bruno Fernandes, who then gave it back to him before the Portuguese midfielder mishit his next pass, giving Liverpool quick possession.
As they shared amusing videos on social media, fans noticed the humour in the situation. “Lol we tried to execute the kick off routine and Bruno butchered it,” one person stated.
The action was a tribute to Bournemouth, who invented the routine versus Fulham last December.

They were attempting the kick-off routine, but Bruno messed it wrong, a second fan tweeted.

A third supporter said, “Big fan of Man United becoming the first team to screw up that kick-off routine that everyone appears to be scoring from.”

Despite botching the move, United had a memorable evening as Jadon Sancho and Marcus Rashford goals gave them their first points of the year.
