X reacts to Man Utd's uninspiring 2-2 draw at Bournemouth
- Man Utd failed to beat Bournemouth after taking just one point from their trip to the Vitality Stadium
- The Red Devils have now won just one of their last seven Premier League games
- Visitors hoped to exact revenge after losing 3-0 to Bournemouth at Old Trafford in December
Manchester United made little improvement from their loss at the hands of Bournemouth in December, being held by the Cherries to a 2-2 draw to head back north with just one point.
Erik ten Hag's side have now recorded just one win from their last seven Premier League games, sitting in seventh place in the table.
π¨ Man United have won just one of their last 7 Premier League games.

Brunoβs brace, not enough to beat Bournemouth with Solanke and Kluivert on fire. pic.twitter.com/m39ugBoaiN
An early shot from Dominic Solanke earned the hosts the first goal of the game. Bournemouth looked to be the dominant side, with more chances created, tackles and shots on target in the first 45 minutes.
Most goals for #AFCB in a Premier League season.πΉ

Dom Solanke passes Joshua King & has now recorded 17 goals.
Hard work, class & a brilliant attitude. Dom Solanke is a special player.

United captain Bruno Fernandes was desperate to silence the critics and fought back. He secured a equalisers in both halves, but looked visibly annoyed by the lack of desire on show from his fellow teammates.
Since moving to Manchester United, Bruno Fernandes has scored more goals (52) than any other midfielder in the Premier League.

Bruno Fernandes helped us by scoring two goals and they still hate on him. This man will never get the credit he deserves from our fanbase. pic.twitter.com/JBMfye4wWV

Between Fernandes' goals, Justin Kluivert put Bournemouth 2-1 up, firing a shot into the net after being given ample time to do so by United's defence.
Question marks remained over United's midfield, who looked unable to fend off any attacking threat.
Justin Kluivert has now scored the same amount of Premier League goals as his dad Patrick (6).

That is appalling from United. There were two line-breaking passes inside a minute in each half there. The space Kluivert has is amateurish. Onana shouldn't be getting beaten at his near post there, either. #mufc
β Samuel Luckhurst (@samuelluckhurst) April 13, 2024
Justin Kluivert at his effervescent best. Be interesting to see if Iraola is tempted to play him for the full 90 for the first time this season. 30 minutes to go.#afcb

There was almost a late twist when Bournemouth were awarded a 95th-minute penalty, but VAR concluded that the foul by Willy Kambwala on Ryan Christie was outside the penalty area.
That's not a penalty, but this ref is having absolutely none of Bournemouth daring to try and get one. Small club players? Simulation? Yellow card.

The contact clearly continues into the box!! Clear penalty for Bournemouth who have been absolutely robbed!!

The referees have fixed the whole game for Man United and theyβve still only got a point.
#BOUMUN
That is insane that Bournemouth didnβt get the penalty there - the contact 100% continued into the box π€―

Bournemouth fans were left disappointed after only taking one point, offering a clear sign on the progress they have made. United fans also shared their frustrations on the lacklustre performance.

#afcb Disappointing to only get a point. Who would have thought that for little old afcb against MUFC? We were terrific and the MoM was the team and the management. I love the way we play and look forward to more of the same. It's a pleasure to watch you. Come on Boscombe!
β Keith Brewer (@kcb49) April 13, 2024
Fans have continued to question Ten Hag's future, voicing their concerns over whether he should be allowed to continue at United.
Even IF we win the FA Cup, should Erik Ten Hag remain at United?
β Emma (@UTDEmma_) April 13, 2024
I said 2 weeks ago they'll sack Ten Hag so today doesn't even make a difference. I'm pretty confident we'll get Southgate as well from what I'm hearing so we'll reap that mistake too. Players win again. And they'll definitely be part of the next project

Erik ten Hag froze and nodded his head as the ref blew the final whistle. He knows it's really bad now. pic.twitter.com/XqJlNsxjod
