Erik ten Hag tell Manchester United ‘do your job’
“We have a team who is resilient in character and wants to win,” he told Sky Sports.
“Twice, we fought back from behind to score, but it was totally unnecessary.
“We were unorganised, especially on the right side. We lose balls in positions where it’s about taking control of the ball.
“The second half was better and we took more responsibility. Harry Maguire was struggling in the first half and we were pleased he could make the second half because his leadership game through.
“We had players that can do better with the ball but the main part is discipline. It’s individual – go with your player.
“These players give everything, they are young and inexperienced but they have to deal with it.
“Everyone is so eager to win against us. Every opponent will go to their limits against us but we have to show resistance and dominate it.
“The second half was better, I told them stay in your positions and the chances will come. Just do your job.”

‘All the refereeing decisions went against us’
Bournemouth manager Andoni Iraola believes his side deserved to win the match.
“We cannot finish this game happy with the point,” he told Sky Sports. “You have to give importance to a point against Manchester United, but we were the side that deserved three points.
“We missed chances in the first half and did OK in the second half, but we didn’t take our chances and all the refereeing decisions went against us.
“You know United always find a way to score when you don’t finish these games.”

Bournemouth striker Dominic Solanke disappointed with the draw
“We told ourselves we beat them before and could do it again,” Solanke told Sky Sports.
“We had a lot of chances in the first half but the second half was a tighter game.
“I don’t score too many from range so it’s nice to get one of those. I managed to lose the defender, I saw him slip, and I only had one thing on my mind.
“The manager has been great since he came in and I’ve got a lot more chances this season.”

United lucky to escape with a point
That was a very one-sided 2-2 draw.
United leave the south coast with a point, but also with a lot of questions about their performance and prospects.
A dubious penalty and and deflected cross allowed the United captain to bag a brace.
The midfielder also hit the bar from range and was the only highlight for his side.
The Cherries had 20 shots and could and should have been out of sight in the first half.

Who blinks first: Bournemouth or Manchester United?
Both have the chance to take control of this for vastly contrasting reasons.
If Bournemouth maintain what they’ve done until now, then they’ll win.
If United maintain what they’ve done until now, they’ll lose, but this is a chance to turn a corner in the game.
Ouattara and Smith come off for Aarons and Faivre for the Cherries.
