Overview
- Amad Diallo, Casemiro, Bruno Fernandes (from a free-kick) and Matheus Cunha scored for United, with Antoine Semenyo, Evanilson, Marcus Tavernier and Junior Kroupi on target for Bournemouth.
- United’s control evaporated early in the second half before a flurry of late goals made it 4-3 then 4-4, as Senne Lammens twice denied David Brooks in stoppage time to preserve a point.
- Ruben Amorim adjusted tactically during the game, moving toward a more attacking 4-2-4 shape in search of control and goals.
- Leny Yoro came in for Noussair Mazraoui, who has joined Morocco for AFCON, while Amad Diallo and Bryan Mbeumo started before departing for their national teams.
- The draw keeps United sixth on goal difference instead of climbing to fifth, extending a pattern of dropped home points with Harry Maguire and Matthijs de Ligt still sidelined.
