| Jose Mourinho is the big favourite to replace Louis van Gaal at Manchester United |
United are now seven games without a win following the Britannia Stadium humiliation.
Bojan opened the scoring after 19 minutes - following a calamitous header from Memphis Depay - before Marko Arnautovic sent a stunner into the bottom corner.
Van Gaal dropped captain Wayne Rooney to the bench but brought him on at half time with his side dead and buried.
"Sacked in the morning" was being chanted throughout the match and one fan even turned up with a P45 and a Mourinho mask.
Mourinho, who was sacked by Chelsea earlier this month, is the bookmakers' favourite at just 4/7 with SkyBet, while Ryan Giggs is 2/1.
Van Gaal's position has been under the microscope following United's dreadful run which has seen them knocked out of the Champions League and drop out of the top four.
United have dropped below Crystal Palace ahead of the match with Bournemouth this afternoon.
