The pressure didn't lessen. Bournemouth smashed the woodwork just before half-time, ending an excellent first half (which was not as good as United's). Erik ten Hag's side were delighted to hear the referee's whistle blow at half-time. Manchester United have developed a habit of conceding an alarming number of goals. That continued at Vitality; United conceded 12 times in the first half. The Red Devils had only one goal in the first period – a goal from Fernandez.
Jamie Redknapp slams Manchester United in interview with Sky Sports: “We never know what we're going to get now Manchester United. They play against Liverpool in a game they have no right to play. They play against Liverpool Got a point. Scratched it off at the end. But they just have to find some form, find some consistency and try to get a really good end to the season. We don't know ourselves every time we watch United play What you’re going to get…it’s so frustrating.”
United were awarded a penalty in the 64th minute; Fernandez misdirected Neto to equalize again and double their tally for the night. At this point, the game has reached a point where a winner has been decided, with neither side having a chance of winning.
Apart from Fernandez's goal, the second half was uneventful until Ryan Christie was fouled by Kambuvara in the penalty area. VAR gave United a sigh of relief when the referee announced that the foul had occurred outside the penalty area.
The draw saw United gain a point over Tottenham, who lost 4-0 to Newcastle United earlier in the day. Aston Villa, who face Arsenal tomorrow, are also 10 points ahead of Manchester United.
