Then he went four games without winning. This is the current summary of Manchester United, and not even Bruno Fernandes' double was enough for the Red Devils to return to their victories, in a match in which they did not exceed a draw (2-2) at Bournemouth.
Manchester United did not start the game well and after 15 minutes they were already losing. Losing the ball in transition left Dominic Solanke one-on-one with Willy Kambwala. Now, the English striker sat on the visiting team's defender, setting up the scoreline against Onana 1-0. The goal did not help the performance of the Red Devils, but the equalizer came in the 31st minute. Bruno Fernandes, with a real bomb on the edge of the small area, made it 1-1.
It was thought that this furious goal from Bruno Fernandes would turn things around for Manchester United, but it didn't happen. Less than five minutes after the score was 1-1, the defense saw Justin Kluivert advance the ball, enter the penalty area and make it 2-1, which went into the break.
In the second half, the visitors dominated, but the best they could do was equalize again through Bruno Fernandes, but from a penalty kick. In the end, already in stoppage time, the VAR canceled a move that could have resulted in a 2-3 result and where there were still a lot of doubts.
Ten points away from a place in the Champions League, Manchester United are now trying to maintain seventh place, which would allow them access to the Conference League. Despite this, Erik ten Hag's side now have an important FA Cup semi-final, against Coventry City, in a competition that could 'save' the season. Bournemouth are still enjoying a quiet season, sitting in 12th place.
