While the Cherries stayed put in 10th and missed out on going to 8th (with other three teams that could leapfrog them this weekend, the Red Devils gave Aston Villa and Liverpool margin to get closer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was often a more fought match than actually played in terms of battles and duels, but still a lively affair. All four goals came within a 20-minute span.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bruno Fernandes opened the scoring from the spot, but Ryan Christie equalised six minutes later. Then an unlucky James Hill own goal gave the visitors their lead back, only for Junior Kroupi to score a penalty of his own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-yoast-seo-table-of-contents yoast-table-of-contents\"><h2>How did Bournemouth 2-2 Manchester United unfold?<\/h2><ul><li><a href=\"#h-manchester-united-match-up-hunting\" data-level=\"3\">Manchester United &#8216;match-up hunting&#8217;<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#h-bournemouth-s-knack-for-transition-football\" data-level=\"3\">Bournemouth&#8217;s knack for transition football<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#h-set-piece-logic\" data-level=\"3\">Set-piece logic<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-manchester-united-match-up-hunting\">Manchester United &#8216;match-up hunting&#8217;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The game suited Man United&#8217;s style all 90 minutes long. Andoni Iraola&#8217;s fun obsession with high press and individual marking made individual quality much more of a factor than it can be under other circumstances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For a team with the likes of Amad Diallo, Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo, it&#8217;s football heaven. The Red Devils had tons of fast breaks throughout the game, which favoured their skillful players. Early on, there seemed to be an emphasis on getting Cunha the ball for him to turn around Alex Jimenez or just straight up take him on.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/bet\/betting-sites\/smarkets-review\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">SBK betting offer<\/a>: Bet \u00a310, get \u00a340 in free bets<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n<p>Eligible readers* interested in this SBK betting offer can follow <strong><a href=\"\/en\/go\/smarkets?q=gb-all-con-wof-s-spo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">THIS LINK<\/a> <\/strong>or click the image below.<\/p>\r\n<p><a href=\"\/en\/go\/smarkets?q=gb-all-con-wof-s-spo\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1422500\" src=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2022\/04\/06120811\/image-145.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"625\" height=\"803\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2022\/04\/06120811\/image-145.png 625w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2022\/04\/06120811\/image-145-233x300.png 233w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2022\/04\/06120811\/image-145-208x267.png 208w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2022\/04\/06120811\/image-145-156x200.png 156w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2022\/04\/06120811\/image-145-47x60.png 47w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2022\/04\/06120811\/image-145-117x150.png 117w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2022\/04\/06120811\/image-145-31x40.png 31w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 625px) 100vw, 625px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><i data-stringify-type=\"italic\">New UK customers only.

It&#8217;s the basketball equivalent of &#8216;match-up hunting&#8217;, when a player feels he has the edge over a certain opponent and tries to abuse the one-on-one plays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Cunha-Jimenez battle eventually led to a beautiful sequence in which the Brazilian got past him near the touchline. The Spaniard got lost and the only option left was to take him down. Bruno Fernandes made no mistake and sent Djordje Petrovic the wrong way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/03\/20222501\/player_-vis-and-4-stat-comparison-1024x640.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1439995\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/03\/20222501\/player_-vis-and-4-stat-comparison-1024x640.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/03\/20222501\/player_-vis-and-4-stat-comparison-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/03\/20222501\/player_-vis-and-4-stat-comparison-768x480.jpg 768w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/03\/20222501\/player_-vis-and-4-stat-comparison-1536x960.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/03\/20222501\/player_-vis-and-4-stat-comparison-2048x1280.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/03\/20222501\/player_-vis-and-4-stat-comparison-400x250.jpg 400w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/03\/20222501\/player_-vis-and-4-stat-comparison-320x200.jpg 320w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/03\/20222501\/player_-vis-and-4-stat-comparison-96x60.jpg 96w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/03\/20222501\/player_-vis-and-4-stat-comparison-150x94.jpg 150w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/03\/20222501\/player_-vis-and-4-stat-comparison-40x25.jpg 40w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Speaking of Cunha and Bruno, they were incredibly in sync at Vitality Stadium. Carrick seemed to encourage them exchanging passes together all game long. Such quality in close proximity is always going to lead to danger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Both combined for 27 passes overall (17 from Bruno to Cunha, 10 the other way around). Those were the two most common link-ups between United players and they led the team in touches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/03\/20222617\/top_4-list-player-1x1-1-2-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1439996\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/03\/20222617\/top_4-list-player-1x1-1-2-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/03\/20222617\/top_4-list-player-1x1-1-2-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/03\/20222617\/top_4-list-player-1x1-1-2-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/03\/20222617\/top_4-list-player-1x1-1-2-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/03\/20222617\/top_4-list-player-1x1-1-2-1536x1536.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/03\/20222617\/top_4-list-player-1x1-1-2-267x267.jpg 267w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/03\/20222617\/top_4-list-player-1x1-1-2-200x200.jpg 200w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/03\/20222617\/top_4-list-player-1x1-1-2-60x60.jpg 60w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/03\/20222617\/top_4-list-player-1x1-1-2-40x40.jpg 40w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/03\/20222617\/top_4-list-player-1x1-1-2.jpg 1620w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s not often you see an attacking midfielder lead in this stat, especially with a left-winger and a goalkeeper right after. But it made for some great chances &#8211; especially in the first half. Luckily for the Cherries, Petrovic played very well and denied most of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-bournemouth-s-knack-for-transition-football\">Bournemouth&#8217;s knack for transition football<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Andoni Iraola&#8217;s main creative is not an attacking midfielder or a tricky winger. It&#8217;s their collective ability of suffocating opponents, counter-pressing and forcing turnovers high up the pitch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Aware of that, Michael Carrick changed his game plan halfway through the first half. Man United started off well, keeping possession and dictating the terms. Of course, they favoured quick, short-passing sequences in order to get forward, rather than setting his team up to dominate territorially and patiently try to break the opposition down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Red Devils were considerably better than Bournemouth for the first 20-25 minutes. But as they saw the guests increasingly frustrate their build-ups with their man-oriented press and stealing the ball in the attacking half, Carrick switched things up. He let the Cherries have the ball. Man United had 61% possession until the 25th minute, but went to the break with 50%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"663\" src=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/03\/20223319\/momentum_vis_Bournemouth2-2ManchesterUnited_25_26_EPL-1024x663.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1439997\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/03\/20223319\/momentum_vis_Bournemouth2-2ManchesterUnited_25_26_EPL-1024x663.png 1024w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/03\/20223319\/momentum_vis_Bournemouth2-2ManchesterUnited_25_26_EPL-300x194.png 300w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/03\/20223319\/momentum_vis_Bournemouth2-2ManchesterUnited_25_26_EPL-768x497.png 768w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/03\/20223319\/momentum_vis_Bournemouth2-2ManchesterUnited_25_26_EPL-1536x995.png 1536w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/03\/20223319\/momentum_vis_Bournemouth2-2ManchesterUnited_25_26_EPL-2048x1326.png 2048w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/03\/20223319\/momentum_vis_Bournemouth2-2ManchesterUnited_25_26_EPL-400x259.png 400w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/03\/20223319\/momentum_vis_Bournemouth2-2ManchesterUnited_25_26_EPL-309x200.png 309w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/03\/20223319\/momentum_vis_Bournemouth2-2ManchesterUnited_25_26_EPL-93x60.png 93w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/03\/20223319\/momentum_vis_Bournemouth2-2ManchesterUnited_25_26_EPL-150x97.png 150w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/03\/20223319\/momentum_vis_Bournemouth2-2ManchesterUnited_25_26_EPL-40x26.png 40w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>And yet, Bournemouth managed to manufacture artificial transitions and fast breaks despite having more of the ball. They actually set their season record for most direct attacks in a Premier League game tonight (7). It&#8217;s an underrated &#8216;super-power&#8217; of this brave and entertaining team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-set-piece-logic\">Set-piece logic<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The ball was often in contest during this match. With both teams managing to take the build-up phase out of the other, it was a constant back and forth between them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This gave set pieces more weight as a way to unlock the game. And there were nine corners in the first half alone, the eight most of any Premier League match before half-time this campaign.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"article-page__title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/bet\/betting-sites\/tote-sign-up-offer\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Tote<\/a> sign-up offer: Bet \u00a310, get \u00a330 in free bets<\/h2>\r\n<p><strong>Not signed up to Tote yet?

It was an awkward and unlucky James Hill own goal that gave the Red Devils their second lead of the night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But it shouldn&#8217;t come as a surprise. After all, they are the second team with the most set-piece goals (excluding penalties) this season. While Bournemouth have conceded the most goals in these situations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the end, it was a fun game and probably a deserved draw. Man United did create enough to score early, but Petrovic made sure both teams went goalless to the break.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And though Carrick&#8217;s decision to change the strategy made sense, Bournemouth still found a way to get into their transition game.<\/p>\n\n\n<h3><strong>Read more:<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/news\/\"><strong>Latest football news<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/bet\/football-tips\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Football betting tips<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/bet\/betting-sites\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Best betting sites<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/bet\/betting-sites\/best-free-bet-offers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Best free bet offers<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/bet\/football-tips\/accumulator\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Football accumulator tips<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It was an entertaining one at Vitality Stadium as Manchester United gave up the lead two different times and Bournemouth kept finding ways back.
