Manchester United led three times at Old Trafford but were unable to secure a victory against Andoni Iraola’s side, only grabbing a share of a thrilling 4-4 draw thanks to two brilliant saves from Senne Lamence late on.
Ruben Amorim has called on his players to “find a way to finish the game” after his Manchester United team conceded a dramatic number of goals at Old Trafford.
United put in their best attacking performance of the season, taking the lead three times in a thrilling eight-goal game, but had to rely on two late saves from keeper Senne Ramens to hold out for a draw. And a bewildered Amorim declared: “It’s a crazy game. It’s a real shame. In the end we should have been rewarded more. It was a fun game for everyone at home. It was a good performance but we created too many chances and we need to be more calm.”
“We have to find a way to finish the game because this has happened many times. It’s part of the process. We try to do as much as we can, but in some moments it’s not enough. Again, today against a very good team, we created many chances to win the game and should have gotten the three points. The result should have been completely different.”

United have only won two points from their last three home games. Antoine Semenho canceled out Amad Diallo’s opening goal and Casemiro gave them the lead at half-time.
However, goals from Evanilsson and Marcus Tavernier put Bournemouth in the lead seven minutes into the second half, but a free-kick from Bruno Fernandes and a goal from Matheus Cunha gave United the lead again, before Junior Crupi equalized.
Amorim said: “Especially the people at Old Trafford want to win, but they also want to see the team play good football here and get inspired. Today was emotional, but we need to be more calm.”
Bournemouth manager Andoni Iraola said: “It was very difficult to describe the game because so much happened.
“I think it was fun for everyone. Both teams were much better offensively than defensively. But there were a lot of positives for us as well.”
