<\/a>Alex Scott ‘disappointed’ in lack of England call-up<\/p>\n

Bournemouth midfielder Alex Scott had this to say as it were put to him that there were \u201craised eyebrows\u201d over his omission from the England squad.<\/p>\n

The 22-year-old produced another industrious display and nearly scored a wonder goal but had it deflected off the post, and was awarded the man of the match.<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cI think, like you said, it’s fuel. Obviously disappointed, everyone wants to play for their country. But in England, there’s so many top players. Kobbie [Mainoo] was playing today. There’s unreal players in the midfield spots. It’s tough to get into that squad. <\/p>\n

\u201cFor me, it’s head down, keep focusing, keep performing, and hopefully I put myself in the best position possible for the summer.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/a>Michael Carrick: ‘We’ll take the point and move on’<\/p>\n

Carrick was also full of praise for his side, especially after going down to 10. <\/p>\n

\u201cDisappointed with not winning the game after being up but under the circumstances with 10 men for what ended up being some sort of added time that we’ve not seen in a while, they decided to bring that one back, we managed that really well again and were really comfortable in managing that in the way we did it. So I was pleased with the way the boys finished the game. <\/p>\n

\u201cIt’s easy to let the game slip away. They kept their heads and took the point, which in the end we’ll take the point and move on. Just the decision for the penalty, I don’t understand how you can be one and the other and give one and not. Mental.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/a>Man Utd ‘want more’ – Carrick<\/p>\n

On their current league position, Carrick says: \u201cWe\u2019re in a good place. We\u2019ve put ourselves in this position through some good work, good results and good performances.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe could have had more tonight but it\u2019s not the end of the world.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI think we\u2019ve made some improvements. There are things we can improve on, and we can get a lot better.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m happy with the way things have gone, but we\u2019re not satisfied. We definitely want more.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/a>‘That’s what VAR was for’ – Michael Carrick<\/p>\n

On the similarities between the penalty shouts, Carrick continues: \u201cWhere do you start, really? Listen, maybe he’s passed Harry [Maguire] and that’s the right decision and he’s given that. I haven’t got too much of a problem, I haven\u2019t seen it back to be totally honest, but I think if he’s passed him and he’s in on goal, I can understand that decision, so I’m not going we deserve everything. But it shouldn\u2019t have happened because we should’ve had another penalty and the game would’ve been totally different and then it ended up in chaos after that. It is what it is.\u201d<\/p>\n

These moments \u201cabsolutely massive,\u201d he adds. \u201cThat’s what VAR was for. Clean it up and consistency. Surely whatever they think, if one’s been given there’s enough people to decide that it’s the same as the first. It’s two different decisions, so a bit baffling really.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/a>‘Can’t get my head around it’ – Michael Carrick on penalty controversy<\/p>\n

Michael Carrick tells Sky Sports: \u201cA lot happened in the end. I thought we had good chances early. Some good chances, some really good chances. I thought we had enough to be ahead and a little more comfortable in the game. We found the goal, should\u2019ve had another penalty.\u201d<\/p>\n

On those penalty shouts: \u201cYou get one, you must get the other. It’s pretty much identical for me, two-hand grab and so either way he’s got one wrong. To give one and not give the other, I just can’t get my head around it. It’s crazy. Because of that they go down the other end, they score and then it’s chaos after that, really.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/a>Bruno Fernandes fumes over controversial penalty decisions as Manchester United draw at Bournemouth<\/p>\n

Manchester United<\/a> captain Bruno Fernandes<\/a> voiced his frustration at perceived inconsistencies in refereeing decisions as his side were not awarded a penalty in their 2-2 draw at Bournemouth.<\/p>\n

Referee Stuart Atwell looked at an incident in the second half when Amad Diallo<\/a> went down under contact by Adrien Truffert in the box, but determined it was not worthy of a penalty.<\/p>\n

VAR<\/a> agreed with the on-field decision but Atwell later gave Bournemouth a penalty for a similar-looking challenge, with Harry Maguire<\/a> seeing a straight red for pushing Evanilson in the penalty area with the latter through on goal, and conceding a spot-kick, which Eli Junior Kroupi duly converted. <\/p>\n

<\/a>Manchester United pass first real test of character as Bournemouth draw showcases turnaround under Carrick<\/p>\n

It may sound foolish, but this might have been the sort of game Michael Carrick<\/a> was waiting for. Manchester United<\/a> have just the second stalemate of his new tenure after a 2-2 draw with Bournemouth<\/a> that offered plenty of drama, but while it\u2019s a game that only offered one point for the interim United boss, it provided him with a few important lessons.<\/p>\n

<\/a>Criticism ‘part of being a Man Utd player’ – Fernandes<\/p>\n

Fernandes is asked about how much criticism the players came in for earlier in the season, before this sudden revival.<\/p>\n

He says: \u201cIt will always be like that, when you get results you get flowers, when you don’t, you get criticised. It’s part of being a Manchester United player. <\/p>\n

\u201cDemand is very high from everywhere, a lot of people with eyes on the club because it’s massive. It’s a lot of eyes on us but if you decide to play for this club and you play here then you are a big player and have a big personality. There are highs and lows and you have to deal with them.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/a>‘We have lots of competition’ – Fernandes<\/p>\n

Fernandes continues: \u201cPremier League is very tough and we have lots of competition. Aston Villa are close to us and Liverpool and Chelsea too. <\/p>\n

\u201cOur aim is to move forwards by keep getting points, we have to get away from them and the best way to do that is to keep getting points. If you want to get closer to the one in front of you you still have to get the three points.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/a>How the table stands<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s how the table looks. United are on 55 points, four clear of Villa, and will remain there even if Villa win this weekend.<\/p>\n

Bournemouth are in 10th on 42, level with Newcastle in ninth but the Magpies have a game in hand.<\/p>\n

And the Cherries are under pressure from behind, with Fulham on 41 points and Brighton and Sunderland both on 40. <\/p>\n
