United players get morale boosting two days off after Bournemouth defeat

Manchester United players got a two day off to clear their mind after the 2-1 defeat to Bournemouth last weekend, reports the Daily Mail.

United have been having a torrid time time, with only three victories in their last twelve matches, and no win in their last five.

The Bournemouth defeat is United's second in a roll, after the 3-2 defeat at Wolfsburg that knocked United out of the Champions League.

The break is coming before United burst into the hectic Christmas schedule. United host Norwich next. The players resumed training on Wednesday.
