"A breathtaking contest had United take the lead three times and featured three late second-half goals from minutes 77 to 84 starting with Bruno Fernandes's free-kick. This made it 3-3 after United first went ahead just before the quarter-hour through Amad Diallo. Antoine Semenyo equalised for Bournemouth on 40 minutes, Casemiro gave United the lead again on 45+4, Evalinson levelled less than a minute into the second half, then Marcus Tavernier made it 3-2 to the visitors with 52 minutes gone."
"We have talent at the back and quality players, we just have to have better defending, the head coach said. We took care of the offence. We have the characteristics, we just need to work together. You think we lost the two points in the second half, but I think we lost the two points in the first half. We should have more goals."
"Now came Fernandes's goal before Matheus Cunha put United 4-3 ahead of the substitute Eli Junior Kroup's leveller. Mistakes by Luke Shaw and Diogo Dalot led to goals, while questionable positioning by two more United defenders Ayden Heaven and Leny Yoro allowed Evalinson's finish. Tavernier's free-kick also benefited from a faulty wall and Senne Lammens not being able to save despite the low shot coming on his side."
Manchester United and Bournemouth played a frenetic match featuring multiple lead changes and defensive errors that produced a 4-4 draw. United took the lead three times through Amad Diallo, Casemiro and Matheus Cunha, while Bournemouth replied via Antoine Semenyo, Evalinson and Marcus Tavernier, with Eli Junior Kroup levelling late. Defensive mistakes by Luke Shaw and Diogo Dalot, plus poor positioning by Ayden Heaven and Leny Yoro, contributed to Bournemouth goals. Ruben Amorim said the squad has defensive talent and quality but must improve collective defending and game awareness. Kobbie Mainoo replaced Casemiro after 60 minutes; his half-brother displayed a Free Kobbie Mainoo T-shirt.
