Overview
- Amad Diallo and Casemiro put United ahead before halftime, Bournemouth flipped the game through Evanilson and Marcus Tavernier, Bruno Fernandes and Matheus Cunha restored a United lead, and Eli Junior Kroupi made it 4-4 late on.
- Amorim deviated from his preferred 3-4-3 during the match, with the setup described as switching to a bold 4-2-4 in search of control and goals.
- United were unable to close it out as Senne Lammens had to make two stoppage-time saves to deny David Brooks and preserve a point.
- The draw lifts United to sixth in the table, while Bournemouth move up to 13th and extend their winless league run to seven matches.
- Squad availability remained strained by AFCON call-ups and injuries, with Noussair Mazraoui absent, Diallo making his final appearance before traveling, key center-backs Harry Maguire and Matthijs de Ligt sidelined, and Casemiro facing a one-match ban for booking accumulation.
