62 mins: Mainoo\u2019s energy is needed in midfield, where Casemiro and Fernandes have been getting overrun. On the edge of the Bournemouth<\/a> area, Mount finds Mbeumo, whose hurried shot lacks any real power.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 61 mins: Amorim makes his first change, and it\u2019s a popular one with the home fans \u2013 Kobbie Mainoo is coming on for Casemiro!<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 60 mins: At the other end, frustrated home fans urge Amad, then Mbeumo, then Fernandes to shoot from the edge of the area, and groan as the latter tries a scoop pass that doesn\u2019t come off.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 59 mins: United give the ball away and Bournemouth<\/a> have a three-on-three \u2013 but Heaven does well to read Kluivert\u2019s pass and clear the danger.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 58 mins: Amad sends a cross skipping and bouncing across the area, but nobody is there to meet it and Mount can\u2019t keep it in on the far side.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n \u201cTo play like Bournemouth<\/a> requires self-belief,\u201d says Kari Tulinius. \u201cIf a lesser side gave up a goal as silly as United\u2019s second, heads could drop. Especially given their run lately. But they back themselves, and now they\u2019re ahead.\u201d Yes, credit where it\u2019s due. The United of the first half don\u2019t seem to be out here now, though.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 55 mins: United are trying to haul themselves off the canvas, but Fernandes sends a chipped cross well behind Petrovic\u2019s goal.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 54 mins: Gary Neville thinks Lammers should have done better with that Tavernier free kick, suggesting the keeper was caught on his heels. I think he was unsighted by Fernandes and Cunha, who left a big gap between them for some reason.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 52 mins: A first half of real promise has unravelled quickly for Manchester United<\/a>. Somewhere in a content creation bunker, Frank is wiping tears (and his hair) from his eyes.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Updated at\u00a016.19 EST<\/p>\n GOAL! Man Utd 2-3 Bournemouth (Tavernier 51′)<\/p>\n Tavernier steps up and smashes a terrific free kick, keeping it low and finding a gap between Fernandes and Cunha. The ball skids into the bottom corner, and Bournemouth<\/a> have hit three at Old Trafford again!<\/p>\n Marcus Tavernier of Bournemouth scores their third goal. Photograph: James Gill\/Danehouse\/Getty ImagesShare<\/a><\/p>\n Updated at\u00a016.22 EST<\/p>\n 50 mins: The lively Tavernier races upfield and with the goal in his sights, is tripped by Casemiro on the edge of the area. It\u2019s a textbook yellow card, and a big chance for Bournemouth<\/a> \u2026<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 49 mins: Bournemouth win a free kick, which is cleared after a spell of head tennis. Mbeumo leads the charge downfield, but Dalot\u2019s ball inside sells Fernandes short \u2026<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n \u201cHas there ever been a more inept United era in extending a lead or even holding on to one?\u201d wrote Paul Mallon after Semenyo\u2019s goal, before inviting me to \u201csave my email for later in the game. It\u2019ll no doubt be relevant very soon.\u201d<\/p>\n Share<\/a>GOAL! Man Utd 2-2 Bournemouth (Evanilson 46′)<\/p>\n And immediately, Bournemouth<\/a> are level! Tavernier picks out Evanilson, who exploits a ragged United back line to get in behind and roll the ball beyond Lammens. That\u2019s his first league goal since August.<\/p>\n Share<\/a>Second half<\/p>\n We\u2019re back under way \u2026<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Another concern for United is that two of their best performers in the first half \u2013 Amad and Mbeumo \u2013 are heading off to the Africa Cup of Nations tomorrow. Ruben Amorim has a job on to cover for their absence, plus Noussair Mazraoui.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n \u201cUnited suffocated Bournemouth<\/a> for most of that half,\u201d says Nelson Calvinho. \u201cI don\u2019t think Amorim will change his tactical experiment just because of one individual mistake by Shaw.\u201d Maybe, but then Shaw wouldn\u2019t have been in that position. But yes, there have been positives to the new approach.<\/p>\n Share<\/a>Half time! Man Utd 2-1 Bournemouth<\/p>\n The half-time whistle is met by rousing applause from the home fans, who will have liked what they saw. United had 17 shots and played with a speed and dynamism that has been lacking so often in recent history. On the down side, they still conceded a sloppy goal, and Bournemouth<\/a> have what it takes to spoil this party.<\/p>\n Share<\/a>GOAL! Man Utd 2-1 Bournemouth (Casemiro 48′)<\/p>\n And from the corner, United retake the lead! Bruno Fernandes\u2019 corner is excellent, swinging towards the far post, and Casemiro gets free to head beyond Petrovic! The keeper should have done better, but Unied are good value for their lead.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 47 mins: Casemiro gets his head to it, but the ball bobbles behind off Senesi \u2026<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 46 mins: Five added minutes, with United getting a free kick as Kluivert clatters Fernandes about five seconds too late.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 45 mins: Bournemouth are ending this frenetic first half on top, with Evanilson almost prodding home at the near post and Tavernier\u2019s shot from 20 yards parried away by Lammens.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 43 mins: Dalot pushes Semenyo off the ball while the winger is in the air \u2013 and he responds by putting his hand on Dalot\u2019s neck. Simon Hooper takes both players aside, and issues a yellow card to both. Semenyo was awfully close to the line there \u2026<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Updated at\u00a016.02 EST<\/p>\n Shaw is knocked off the ball by Kluivert and Adam Smith keeps the ball in by the touchline and prods it through to Semenyo. With neither Shaw nor Dalot anywhere near him, he races through down the right, with Mount chasing in vain. Semenyo looks up, sees a lack of options, and sends a low shot crashing in off the far post.<\/p>\n Share<\/a>GOAL! Man Utd 1-1 Bournemouth (Semenyo 40′)<\/p>\n A terrific finish from Antoine Semenyo, ending his dry spell \u2013 but possibly the end of Ruben Amorim\u2019s false back four experiment.<\/p>\n Antoine Semenyo of Bournemouth scores. Photograph: Robin Jones\/AFC Bournemouth\/Getty ImagesShare<\/a><\/p>\n Updated at\u00a015.47 EST<\/p>\n 39 mins: United slice through the high Bournemouth<\/a> line again and Casemiro has Mbeumo to his right, but opts to shoot from a tight angle, finding only the side netting.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 37 mins: Another half-chance for Bournemouth<\/a> as Evanilson is crowded out in the United area. Next goal feels crucial, if you\u2019ll forgive my starting the obvious.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n \u201cHas Ruben Amorim just invented the False Back Four (in the cunning guise of 3-4-3)?\u201d asks Justin Kavanagh. \u201cI feel a new Wilson book on the horizon; Perverting the Pyramid?\u201d<\/p>\n I\u2019m sure Fabio Capello tried this sort of lopsided back four in an England game, many moons ago. Does anyone else remember this?<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 35 mins: Cunha may not be scoring as much as United fans would like, but he\u2019s shown some flashes of brilliance in the first half. Here, he brings a long ball down and crosses for Mbeumo, who can\u2019t keep his acrobatic effort on target.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 33 mins: Cunha delivers another excellent diagonal ball from the centre circle, setting Amad free. The winger hares upfield and cuts beyond one defender \u2013 but with the goal at his mercy, he\u2019s denied by a terrific block from Adam Smith!<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 32 mins: Yoro chops down Alex Jim\u00e9nez, conceding a free kick \u2013 but Bournemouth<\/a> get tangled up and United have a chance to break \u2026<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 31 mins: Now Kluivert has a go from a similar distance, and his shot bobbles harmlessly across the area. Still, some pushback from the visitors in the last five minutes.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 29 mins: A wake-up call for United, then, having dominated the opening 25 minutes but scored just once. Semenyo tees up Evanilson, who skews his volley wide. Just one Premier League<\/a> goal this season for the Brazilian.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 27 mins: Having been under the cosh, Bournemouth<\/a> should be level here! Semenyo rolls the ball back to Kluivert, whose cross is perfect for the on-rushing Tavernier \u2013 but he heads the ball at Lammers, who does well to repel it from close range.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 24 mins: No further action after a VAR check, but United keep going, with Amad\u2019s shot blocked before Mbeumo tries to place his effort beyond Petrovic, but doesn\u2019t add the required power.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 22 mins: Again, Mount seizes on the ball and United win a corner. Bournemouth<\/a> look really sluggish, and need to get off the ropes here. They\u2019re helped when Dalot is penalised for a foul; there\u2019s a VAR check on Scott, who was leaning on Casemiro when the ball struck his arm.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n \u201cIt was reported that Amorim might start experimenting with a back four with Afcon taking Amad and Mbeumo out of the equation,\u201d notes Alan McNamara. \u201cWill it only be a temporary measure though? I like what I see so far.\u201d<\/p>\n
