Bruno Fernandes equalised twice for Manchester United in their 2-2 draw at Bournemouth
, is there a more damning indictment of their current state than the fact they have faced more shots than anyone else in the division this season? André Onana’s goal was peppered again here and they have now conceded a league-high 574 shots. The other teams at the top that list? Sheffield United, Luton and Burnley, a trio mired deep in relegation trouble.
By that point United trailed 2-1, Fernandes having volleyed in from close range after a fortuitous deflection off Illia Zabarnyi, but that scoreline flattered Ten Hag’s side, unchanged from their draw against Liverpool last time out. Solanke got the first courtesy of a United tragicomedy and Kluivert got the second.
Kluivert’s goal came down United’s right flank, where Bournemouth had joy time and again. Kambwala pointed at an unmarked Kluivert but, with Dalot and Alejandro Garnacho looking at each other in front of the ball, suddenly the teenager was faced with the Bournemouth forward himself. Kluivert feasted on the space afforded to him and rattled a shot inside Onana’s near post. It encapsulated United’s looseness. They were outnumbered, overwhelmed and outrun.
It was, again, a Bournemouth player who showed greater hunger to get to the ball. Marcos Senesi toe-poked a first-time pass into Solanke and he turned Kambwala and promptly buried his 17th league goal of the season, the best tally for a Bournemouth player in the top flight in a single season.
