Bournemouth vs Man Utd LIVE: Premier League result and reaction as controversial penalty earns visitors a draw

Bournemouth had to settle for a point against Manchester United after a controversial penalty decision allowed the lacklustre visitors to draw level in the second half.

Dominic Solanke’s fizzing effort gave the Cherries the lead before Bruno Fernandes turned a loose ball into the back of the net from close range. The hosts took advantage of some slack defending as Justin Kluivert weaved into the box and slotted the ball past Andre Onana to restore the lead.

With United bereft of creativity and pass bounced up to strike Adam Smith on the arm inside his own box with referee Tony Harrington pointing to the spot and VAR deciding not to overturn. Fernandes scored the penalty and salvaged a draw for Erik ten Hag’s men.

Bournemouth denied late penalty by VAR as Manchester United escape with draw

20:06 , Mike Jones

Bournemouth had an added-time penalty award overturned by VAR as disjointed Manchester United escaped Vitality Stadium with a scarcely-deserved 2-2 draw thanks to Bruno Fernandes’ brace.

Referee Tony Harrington pointed to the spot five minutes beyond the 90 when Ryan Christie went down under a challenge from Willy Kambwala before changing his decision to a free-kick on review.

Erik ten Hag’s men were tormented for much of an uninspiring performance in Dorset and twice trailed in the first half following goals from Cherries pair Dominic Solanke and Justin Kluivert.

Solanke speaks to Sky

20:02 , Chris Wilson

Solanke is the first player in front of the cameras. He says that Bournemouth “were confident” going into the game.

“We told ourselves we had beat them once this season so knew we could do it again. We created a lot of chances and should’ve been two or three up but we didn’t take the chances and the second half was a tight game.

“To beat United is something we’d love to do, it would’ve been a good chance to win it at the end so the boys are obviously a bit gutted about that.”

On his goal, he says that he “just had one thing on my mind and it was a good finish”.

“Football is crazy sometimes, I wouldn’t have thought I would score this many this season. We’ve been great this season and the manager has been great since he came in.”

On a potential place on the plane to the Euros, he adds that he “would love to be there”.

“I just need to keep scoring and try and get as many as I can and I can be in with a shout.”

FULL-TIME! Bournemouth 2-2 Manchester United

For Manchester United, their next game is a potential banana skin as they play Coventry City in the semi-finals of the FA Cup.

After that, Erik ten Hag’s men welcome Sheffield United and Burnley to Old Trafford, before travelling to Crystal Palace on 6 May.

Their last three games see them host Arsenal and Newcastle before travelling to Brighton on the final day of the season on 19 May.

19:53 , Chris Wilson

The Cherries’ next game is away to Aston Villa, and they travel to Wolves three days later before hosting Brighton on 28 April. Interestingly, Bournemouth sit in 12th in the table, one point below Wolves and two below Brighton.

Their last three games of the season include trips to Arsenal and Chelsea, as well as a match against Brentford in their last home game of the season.

FULL-TIME! Bournemouth 2-2 Manchester United

19:48 , Chris Wilson

That result means Bournemouth stay in 12th in the table, on 42 points – just eight off Manchester United, who’ve dropped to seventh after Newcastle’s thumping win over Spurs earlier today.

Andoni Iraola’s side can continue hunting that European place, while United can say goodbye to any hopes of being in next season’s Champions League. Even qualifying for the Europa League would be difficult if they keep this form up.

FULL-TIME! Bournemouth 2-2 Manchester United

19:37 , Chris Wilson

The referee brings the game to an end after some late penalty-related drama.

Another good result for Bournemouth in a season full of them. They’ll probably feel like it’s two pints dropped though, after outclassing their opponents for much of the game.

For Manchester United, a result that characterises a poor season and further illustrates how much needs to change, from the manager to a selection of certain players.

63 mins: PENALTY! And United are offered a way back into it!

The home side get us underway in the second half.

HALF-TIME: Bournemouth 2-1 Manchester United

18:39 , Chris Wilson

A great first half performance from Bournemouth, but more reason to worry if you’re anyone associated with Manchester United.

They conceded 12 shots – five on target – in that half, and the terrible performances keep coming. Casemiro has been particularly poor, as was the case over the last few games.

Conversely, Dominic Solanke is having perhaps the season of his life. That’s 17 goals in the league for the Englishman. Could Bournemouth scrape into Europe?

18:32 , Chris Wilson

HALF-TIME! The referee blows the whistle and the players head down the tunnel. An easy afternoon for the home side so far.

For Manchester United, another poor performance. You begin to wonder how it’s possible for Erik ten Hag to keep his job.

53 mins: CLOSE! Neto punches the corner away and United work the ball back to Fernandes. He drives towards the box and hits a shot from just outside, and it clips the top of the crossbar!

18:23 , Chris Wilson

51 mins: Fernandes is brought down in the Bournemouth half and United will have a decent chance at the free-kick.

Solanke finds himself in the acres of space that this Manchester United midfield often leave vacant, and Bournemouth work another attack.

Senesi plays it to Kluivert, who himself is in acres of space down the United right-hand side, and he just cuts inside before smashing a low shot past Onana.

Bournemouth 1-1 Manchester United

18:04 , Chris Wilson

33 mins: CLOSE! A great counter from the home side. Solanke collects on halfway and plays a lovely through ball to Ouattara, who drives into the box and hits the shot across goal. He drags it narrowly wide though.

17:52 , Chris Wilson

21 mins: 67 per cent possession for United, but they’ve done nothing with it.

Bournemouth have another great chance as SInisterra runs at Dalot. He stands him up and hits the shot across goal, but it goes wide of the far post.

Just a moment earlier, Kerkez had driven into the box and hit a shot straight at Onana.

Just 10 minutes until kick-off at the Vitality, and it’s a lovely day down south.

What sort of version of Manchester United will we see today? The Cherries hammered the away side in December on their way to a historic 3-0 win at Old Trafford – the first in the team’s history.

Adoni Iraola’s side come into the game off the back of a disappointing 2-1 loss to Luton, but they have pretty much guaranteed safety with eight games to go, and sit in 12th in what has been a remarkable campaign.

17:15 , Chris Wilson

17:10 , Chris Wilson

Head-to-head

17:05 , Chris Wilson

This will be the 22nd meeting between these two sides, with Manchester United winning 14 of them.

Three have been drawn, while Bournemouth have won four, including the most recent meeting. The Cherries won 3-0 at Old Trafford in December – their first ever win at the famous stadium.

Before that, United had won the last three meetings between the two sides 5-2, 3-0 and 1-0.

Manchester United need new recruits to fix underlying issue in Erik ten Hag’s plans

16:55 , Chris Wilson

Erik ten Hag sounded unusually poetic. “When old soldiers die, new ones have to come in,” he said, explaining the teenager Willy Kambwala’s selection against Liverpool. Jonny Evans and Raphael Varane were Manchester United’s latest defensive casualties but news of their deaths came as a surprise, perhaps to the players themselves.

But as Ten Hag talked about the 27 different defences he has fielded, whether by injury or choice, so far this season, his militaristic phrase hinted at a reason. Four of United’s five main central defenders are old soldiers. And if it is then illogical that the man who has made the fewest appearances of the quintet, Lisandro Martinez, is the youngest – and also, in style or play, the most warrior-like, compared to the sleeker Varane or the more cerebral Evans – there is an underlying issue.

United have acquired or kept too many old soldiers in recent years. The recent past has seen a £100m outlay on Casemiro and Varane, bought to spend their footballing dotage at Old Trafford. Like Casemiro, Christian Eriksen, who at least was a free transfer, lacks the mobility required in midfield. Harry Maguire and Victor Lindelof were acquired with their best years ahead of them but, at 31 and almost 30 respectively, they form other reasons why a defensive overhaul may be necessary this summer.

Team news

16:46 , Chris Wilson

The Cherries make three changes to the team that started last weekend’s 2-1 loss to Luton.

Dango Ouattara, Luis Sinisterra and Marcos Senesi come in for Lloyd Kelly and the injured duo of Antoine Semenyo and Marcus Tavernier.

Team news

16:41 , Chris Wilson

So Manchester United remain unchanged from the side that started last weekend’s 2-2 draw at home to Liverpool.

Injuries mean Willy Kambwala retains his place in central defence, while Rashford is fit to start after coming off in that game. Scott McTominay remains out.

United’s bench contains summer signing Mason Mount and four teenagers including Omari Forson, Harry John Amass, Habeeb Ogunneye and Ethan Wheatley.

BOURNEMOUTH XI: Neto; Smith, Zabarnyi, Senesi, Kerkez; Cook, Christie; Sinisterra, Kluivert, Dango Outtara; Solanke.

MAN UNITED XI: Onana; Wan-Bissaka, Maguire, Kambwala, Dalot; Casemiro, Mainoo, Fernandes; Garnacho, Rashford, Hojlund.

Raphael Varane injury deals further blow to Erik Ten Hag and Manchester United

16:22 , Chris Wilson

With the announcement of the line-ups approaching, here’s some early teams news.

Raphael Varane has been ruled out for several weeks to leave Manchester United in a defensive injury crisis.

While the World Cup winner is hoping to be fit before the end of the season, manager Erik ten Hag will be without three of his senior centre-backs for the next few games, including the FA Cup semi-final against Coventry, with Lisandro Martinez and Victor Lindelof both also weeks away from a return.

And a fourth central defender, Jonny Evans, will sit out Saturday’s trip to Bournemouth with a lesser muscle injury, meaning Harry Maguire is the only senior specialist centre-back fit. In addition, left-back Luke Shaw, who was used at centre-back at times last season, is also on the sidelines.

Scott McTominay is also out, while Rashford will be assessed.

Erik ten Hag emphasises need to replace Man Utd football director John Murtough

16:16 , Chris Wilson

And following that news, Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag says he will miss the support of the dparted football director, and has emphasised the importance of replacing him.

Asked about Murtough leaving at a press conference ahead of Saturday’s trip to Bournemouth, Ten Hag said: “You mention the new season – it’s very important, the new ownership is working on this and we have to replace this function to go into the new season.

“For the moment, of course I miss his support, but he moved on, there has been choices made. We work very good together, so I say thank you to John and I wish him all the best for the future.

“Also I work with the new ownership very good and closely together and that will not change. It doesn’t have an impact on the way I can work here.

“Conditions were perfect and are still perfect, so I’m happy with that, but we want to set the right conditions to be successful.”

John Murtough leaves Manchester United as Sir Jim Ratcliffe continues rebuild

16:08 , Chris Wilson

Some big news from Manchester United in midweek, as Director of football Murtough has exited Old Trafford.

Murtough, who was appointed United’s first-ever football director in 2021, is stepping down while United pursue Dan Ashworth and Jason Wilcox to take over from him.

Ashworth has been put on gardening leave by Newcastle, where he is sporting director, but the two clubs have been unable to agree a fee so far to allow the former FA technical director to move to Old Trafford.

United have also made an offer to Southampton for Wilcox, their director of football and a former head of Manchester City’s academy, who is also wanted to become the new technical director at Old Trafford though, once again, no compensation deal has been agreed.

Erik ten Hag hopes Man Utd sign proven goalscorer in the summer

16:00 , Chris Wilson

Erik ten Hag has said Manchester United signing a proven goalscorer this summer “would help” – while stressing the striking options with which they entered the current season “should have been enough”.

Having last term finished third in the Premier League and won the Carabao Cup in their first campaign under Ten Hag’s management, United have subsequently underwhelmed.

With seven games to go in the league, they lie sixth, 11 points behind fourth-placed Tottenham, as well as fifth-placed Aston Villa, and have the lowest goals-for tally in the top 10 with 45.

Twenty-one-year-old striker Rasmus Hojlund has netted 13 times in all competitions since being signed last summer to join an attack also featuring Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial.

Rashford has eight United goals to his name for 2023-24, and Martial – sidelined since groin surgery in January, with Ten Hag unsure if he will be available again before the end of the season – two.

It would help – Erik ten Hag hopes Man Utd sign proven goalscorer in the summer

Is Bournemouth vs Man Utd on TV? Kick off time, channel and how to watch Premier League fixture

15:40 , Chris Wilson

Bournemouth host Manchester United at the Vitality Stadium in Saturday night’s late kick-off in the Premier League.

The Red Devils travel down south in search of a much needed three points after two draws and a loss in their last three games. Erik ten Hag’s side grabbed a surprising draw against old rivals Liverpool at the weekend, but fell to a last-minute 4-3 loss at Chelsea in the game before and were dominated by Brentford a fortnight ago.

The Cherries, meanwhile, have been slowly climbing up the table after recent wins against Everton, Crystal Palace and Luton Town. Andoni Iraola’s side currently sit 12th on 41 points, having already reached the supposed ‘mythical’ threshold of 40 points to avoid relegation.

The match kicks off at 5.30pm BST (1.30pm CEST) on 13 April 2024 at the Vitality Stadium in Bournemouth.
