The second half was an intense and action-packed affair, with both teams creating scoring opportunities. Evanilson scored his second goal of the game to level the score, followed by Marcus Tavernier's excellent free kick that gave Bournemouth the lead. Bruno Fernandes and Matheus Cunha then scored two goals in quick succession to put Manchester United ahead, but Bournemouth's Eli Junior Kroupi had other plans, and the game ended 4-4.

Defensive mistakes and miscommunication were evident throughout the game, with both teams struggling to defend effectively. Manchester United's center-backs were often left exposed, allowing Bournemouth players to find space and create scoring opportunities. This was particularly evident in Evanilson's goal, where Young Heaven had too much time to finish, and Cunha's goal was made possible by Marcos Senesi's mistake and Adam Smith and Bafodé Diakité's positioning.

The high-pressing tactics employed by both teams left their defenders scrambling to keep up, resulting in a fast-paced and entertaining game.

Antoine Semenyo's return to form was notable, but his behavior on the pitch was also a concern. He was given a yellow card for grabbing Diogo Dalot's throat after a tackle, and it's possible that a more severe penalty could have been given. This incident highlights the importance of discipline in football.

Manchester United will be without several key players for the next month as they head to the Africa Cup of Nations. Mbeumo, Diallo, and Noussair Mazraoui will be missing, and their absence could have a significant impact on the team's performance. These players have been crucial to Manchester United's success this season, and their absence will be felt.

Manchester United's squad lacks players with the same level of skill and versatility as Mbeumo and Diallo, and their absence could be a significant challenge for the team.
