Tottenham’s failure in the early match opened up an opportunity for Man Utd to close the gap with the fifth team, and at the same time regain the sixth place occupied by Newcastle a few hours earlier.

However, bringing a patchwork defense to Vitality Stadium promises to be more or less good for the `Red Devils`.

Marcus Rashford shares joy with Bruno Fernandes after Man Utd equalized 2-2.

The away team fans’ worries became reality in the 16th minute. After a solid start to the game, 19-year-old midfielder Willy Kambwala slipped while marking Dominic Solanke.

The early defeat was not a timely wake-up call for Man Utd’s defense.

In the midst of difficulties, Man Utd suddenly equalized in a counterattack.

Solanke opened the scoring for Bournemouth, thereby scoring his 17th goal this season.

However, that was just a rare moment of breakthrough for the `Red Devils` attack, while at home there was still space constantly exposed.

And Bournemouth doesn’t need to wait too long.

If luckier, the home team could go into the break with a gap of more than one goal.

Onana played excellently, but could not correct the mistakes of the Man Utd defenders.

After the break, Ten Hag brought on Amad Diallo to replace Garnacho.

In the remaining minutes, the two teams played tit for tat but neither side scored more goals.

The draw dropped Man Utd to seventh – a position that did not qualify for the Europa League.
