Manchester United traveled to Bournemouth for the 32nd round match of the English Premier League. Erik ten Hag's team approached this game after three winless matches and was determined to face a strong Bournemouth side.

The start of the match belonged to the hosts, who took the lead in the 16th minute with a precise strike from their top scorer, Dominic Solanke. Iraola's men were expected to build on their advantage, but instead, they conceded in response—Bruno Fernandes was quick to capitalize on a rebound. A few minutes later, Bournemouth regained the lead with an excellent shot from Justin Kluivert. In the middle of the second half, a penalty was awarded for a handball in the hosts' box, which Fernandes successfully converted. In the remaining time, both teams seemed to settle for a draw and didn't create enough chances to try to snatch a win.
