Bournemouth v Man United player ratings: Kerkez 8, Solanke 7; Fernandes 8, Rashford 3

Hosts denied a last-minute penalty as United claim a barely-deserved 2-2 draw at the Vitality Stadium

• 

  Neto 6/10

  BOURNEMOUTH RATINGS: No chance for either of Fernandes's goals. Some stylish distribution with the ball at his feet. Good punched clearance from a dangerous in-swinging corner in second half. Getty ImagesShow less

• 

  Adam Smith 7/10

  Some excellent crosses including a brilliant curling ball to create a headed chance for Kerkez in the first half. Very unlucky to have the penalty for handball awarded against him. AFP

• 

  Illya Zabarnyi 6/10

  Read the situation well to clear a potentially dangerous long ball over the top to Rashford. Unflappable in the back line for the Cherries. AP

• 

  Marcos Senesi 7/10

  Commanding presence in a well-drilled defence. Did well to use his strength to snuff out a Hojlund run into the area. Good positioning to rescue his team on several occasions. Reuters

• 

  Milos Kerkez 8/10

  A constant thorn in United's side. Decent take, run and shot after 20 minutes. Touch let him down in the box shortly afterwards. Some sharp defensive work to go with the high-energy attacking threat. The smallest man on the pitch hit the bar when he leapt to win a header in the box. AFPShow less

• 

  Lewis Cook 7/10

  Did superbly to beat Rashford to a long through ball and extinguish the danger. Delivered some quality crosses. Reuters

• 

  Ryan Christie 8/10

  The Scot was brilliant. He raided forward constantly. His stinging shot from outside box flew just over the bar in the first period. He also put in an excellent defensive shift to cancel out threats at key moments. Showed great heart at the death to win a penalty before VAR overturned it. AFPShow less

• 

  Luis Sinisterra 6/10

  Lovely threaded ball to set Ouattara clear. Hobbled off just before half-time with a recurrence of his hamstring injury. AFP

• 

  Justin Kluivert 7/10

  Restored the Cherries' lead superbly with surging run and whipped shot beyond Onana. Forced a great save from the United keeper shortly after his goal. Brilliant jinking run into the box 10 minutes into second half. A real livewire with plenty of end product. APShow less

• 

  Dango Ouattara 6/10

  Should have at least hit target when put into space by Sinisterra in first half. Dragged another good chance wide on 33 mintues. PA

• 

  Dominic Solanke 7/10

  Did superbly to wrong-foot and outmuscle Kambala for the first goal - his 17th of the season. Always intelligent and lively before he seemed to struggle with a knock for a while. AFP

• 

  Andre Onana 6/10

  MAN UNITED RATINGS: Shaky distribution at times. Could he have got a hand to Solanke's opening goal? Brilliant save low to his left to deny Kluivert from almost point-blank range. Reuters

• 

  Diogo Dalot 4/10

  Went AWOL for Kluivert's goal. Very poor positioning afforded the Dutchman acres of space to run into and score. Almost sold his keeper short just before the break. An untidy afternoon's work. AP

• 

  Willy Kambwala 4/10

  The youngster certainly looks to have a big future but he got his feet all wrong for Bournemouth's opener and was culpable to some extent for Kluivert's goal. He never let his head drop, though, which shows he has the strength of character required. Clumsy block on Christie almost gave away a late penalty that was then overturned by VAR.

• 

  Harry Maguire 6/10

  A solid enough performance. Tried a long-range potshot from distance in first-half added time. Presumably frustrated by the lack of effectiveness from his teammates in front of him. AFP

• 

  Aaron Wan-Bissaka 6/10

  Tried hard to get forward and combine with the lacklustre Rashford. Some decent defensive interventions with those telescopic legs. AP

• 

  Casemiro 3/10

  Guilty of some very sloppy passing. At times looked as though he didn't want to break sweat. Gave up possession far too often for a player of his quality and experience. Age seems to be catching up with him. Getty ImagesShow less

• 

  Kobbie Mainoo 4/10

  Usually does everything so well. He always seems to pick the right option and can make the game look easy. It was hard going for the youngster at the Vitality, though. Reuters

• 

  Alejandro Garnacho 3/10

  Another of United's youth club who had a bad day at the office. Sloppy in the first half. Lost possession in the build-up to Bournemouth's first goal. He looked tired and was hooked for Amad at half-time. Action ImagesShow less

• 

  Bruno Fernandes 8/10

  United's best player by a distance. He was their orchestrator in chief and almost every creative moment came from the skipper. Got United level from close range as he lashed a left-foot shot into the roof of the net and then struck a cooly taken penalty to earn his side a point. Getty ImagesShow less

• 

  Marcus Rashford 3/10

  A shadow of the player we know he can be. Again. Wasteful in possession more than once. Good solo run but hit the side netting when he should have crossed for Hojlund in the area. Did well in the build-up to Fernandes's first goal. Terrible body language - he barely looks interested. Action ImagesShow less

• 

  Rasmus Hojlund 6/10

  Works his socks off. The boyhood United fan always shows desire and his clever link-up play is something the side have lacked for a long time. The goals will come again. Reuters

• 

  Amad Diallo 6/10

  MAN UNITED SUBS: (For Garnacho '45): Made a positive impact and gave United more control; Mason Mount (for Mainoo, 78'): N/A. AFP

Bournemouth had an added-time penalty award overturned by VAR as disjointed Manchester United escaped Vitality Stadium with a scarcely-deserved 2-2 draw thanks to Bruno Fernandes’ brace.

Referee Tony Harrington pointed to the spot five minutes beyond the 90 when Ryan Christie went down under a challenge from Willy Kambwala before changing his decision to a free-kick on review.

Erik ten Hag’s men were tormented for much of an uninspiring performance and twice trailed in the first half following goals from Cherries pair Dominic Solanke and Justin Kluivert.

Fernandes volleyed home his first equaliser against the run of play before denying the impressive hosts a first league double over the 20-time English champions by converting a 65th-minute penalty after Adam Smith inexplicably handled.

United’s Portuguese captain also rattled the crossbar with a stunning strike from distance at 2-1 down in stoppage time at the end of an exhilarating opening period.

Yet outstanding Bournemouth, who hit the woodwork through Milos Kerkez and wasted numerous other chances, should have been out of sight by then.

United move on to a Wembley FA Cup semi-final against Coventry sitting seventh in the table and with European qualification for next term still far from assured following another disappointing display of an unconvincing season, which extended their winless run to four top-flight games. Bournemouth remain 12th.
