JAKARTA - Manchester United drew against Bournemouth in a tense match full of drama at Old Trafford on Tuesday, December 16, 2025, early morning WIB.
Both teams shared one point after the match ended 4-4. Substitute Junior Kroupi scored in the final minutes in one of the most chaotic matches in Old Trafford history to save the visitors from defeat.
The match of the 16th week of the English League this season will be remembered because the game was alternating attacking with fast intensity, with tense moments along with brilliant moments.
Manchester United dominated early on and Amad Diallo opened the scoring in his last game before representing his country at the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.
However, Antoine Semenyo equalised before being sent off for choking Diogo Dalot.
Casemiro restored the Red Devils' lead in the first half injury time. However, Evanilson's left-footed goal and Marcus Tavernier's free kick gave Bournemouth the lead when the second half of the match only lasted seven minutes.
However, the tense match still holds surprises. Ruben Amorim's team fought desperately, similar to their comeback victory in last season's Europa League quarterfinal against Lyon.
Bruno Fernandes equalised with a beautiful free-kick. Then, Matheus Cunha shook Old Trafford to turn the tide 4-3 with 11 minutes left in normal time.
Unfortunately, the advantage did not last long. Five minutes later, substitute Kroupi equalized the score so that Bournemouth extended their unbeaten record against Manchester United to five times.
The result once again confirmed Manchester United's inconsistency. Instead of starting to rise after an impressive performance when beating Wolverhampton Wanderers 4-1 last week, Amorim's team stumbled again.
Since winning a streak in the first three weeks of last month (winning three consecutive times), Manchester United has not been able to win consecutive victories.
