Fernandes celebrates making it 3-3<\/p>\n
Manchester United saw the chance to go fifth in the Premier League slip by once again as they shared eight goals with Bournemouth in a wild game at Old Trafford.<\/p>\n
United<\/a> produced a better attacking performance and led at the break thanks to goals from Amad<\/a> and Casemiro, with Antoine Semenyo’s strike separating them.<\/p>\n But they were woeful at the back. Semenyo’s goal was a gift and Evanilson and Marcus Tavernier put the Cherries ahead. Two goals in three minutes from Bruno Fernandes and Matheus Cunha restored United’s lead only for Junior Kroupi to snatch a point for the visitors.<\/p>\n Here are your player ratings from Old Trafford:<\/p>\n Senne Lammens: <\/strong>One good first-half save, but flat-footed when beaten by Evanilson and should have saved Tavernier’s free-kick. Good save late on. 5<\/strong><\/p>\n Leny Yoro: <\/strong>Not at the scene of the crime for some dire defensive mishaps but doesn’t always spread calm amongst his teammates. 6<\/strong><\/p>\n Ayden Heaven: <\/strong>Slow to spot the danger and close down Semenyo for the first goal and then the wrong side of Evanilson for the second. 5<\/strong><\/p>\n Luke Shaw: <\/strong>Bullied off the ball by Kluivert for the first goal when he really has to be stronger. Moved back to left-back in a back four midway through the second half. 5<\/strong><\/p>\n Diogo Dalot: <\/strong>Excellent cross for the first goal and started brightly. Moved from left-back to right-back midway through the second half. 6<\/strong><\/p>\n Casemiro: <\/strong>In the right place from a corner again, but Djordje Petrovic should have saved it. Not always convincing on the ball and a desperate tackle conceded a free-kick for the third goal. 6<\/strong><\/p>\n Bruno Fernandes:<\/strong> <\/strong>Caught on the ball for a break that led to the free-kick for Bournemouth’s third, but a magnificent free-kick got United level and managed an assist to boot. 7<\/strong><\/p>\n Amad: <\/strong>Made a mess of an early pass to Bryan Mbeumo but made up for it with his goal and some really incisive attacks. Hardly alone in struggling a bit more after the break. 7<\/strong><\/p>\n Bryan Mbeumo: <\/strong>Not at his best. Volleyed over a difficult chance and shot too close to Petrovic for another first-half opportunity. 6<\/strong><\/p>\n Mason Mount:<\/strong> <\/strong>Excellent in the first half when his passing and pressing really shone, and he was the heart of so much good, but in influence waned after the break. 7<\/strong><\/p>\n Matheus Cunha: <\/strong>An exhibition of quality as a false nine in the first half. Two brilliant passes to free Amad and a lovely cross for Mbeumo. Deserved his goal. 8<\/strong><\/p>\n Substitutes<\/strong><\/p>\n Kobbie Mainoo: <\/strong>Got half an hour and showed some quality in a chaotic game. 6<\/strong><\/p>\n Lisandro Martinez: <\/strong>One crunching tackle. 6<\/strong><\/p>\n Benjamin Sesko: <\/strong>Did well for Cunha’s goal. 7<\/strong><\/p>\n Joshua Zirkzee:<\/strong> No time to make an impact. N\/A<\/strong><\/p>\n Patrick Dorgu: <\/strong>No time to make an impact. N\/A<\/strong><\/p>\n Subs not used: <\/strong>Bayindir, Fredricson, Malacia, Ugarte<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Man Utd drew 4-4 with Bournemouth in a wild and chaotic game at Old Trafford as they missed…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":449673,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[45],"tags":[3898,3243,221,62,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-449672","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-soccer","8":"tag-manchester-united-fc","9":"tag-player-ratings","10":"tag-soccer","11":"tag-sports","12":"tag-united-states","13":"tag-unitedstates","14":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115726179234715490","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/449672","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=449672"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/449672\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/449673"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=449672"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=449672"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=449672"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
