Overview
- Amad Diallo’s opener stood after a VAR check and Casemiro’s stoppage-time header sent United into the break ahead before Bournemouth turned the match early in the second half.
- Evanilson and Marcus Tavernier scored in quick succession to put the visitors 3-2 up soon after halftime.
- Bruno Fernandes equalized with a pinpoint free kick and Matheus Cunha briefly restored United’s lead minutes later.
- Eli Junior Kroupi netted in the 84th minute to seal a 4-4 finish after chances at both ends in the closing stages.
- Matthijs de Ligt was absent with back discomfort as Ayden Heaven started, Lisandro Martínez returned as a 69th‑minute substitute, and the result leaves United sixth on 26 points with Bournemouth 13th on 21 and winless in seven league matches.
