Manchester United faced Bournemouth today in Week 34 of the Premier League. It’s been a tough season for the Devils, who have managed just 6 wins, 6 draws, and 11 losses so far under Ruben Amorim. The team has struggled to find consistency and form, leaving fans disappointed.
However, there is still one thing United can be thankful for — mathematically and, if I might add, scientifically, they can no longer be relegated this season. The three teams confirmed to be relegated back to the Championship are Ipswich Town, Southampton, and Leicester City.
Moving on to the game against Bournemouth, Manchester United’s manager, Ruben Amorim, opted for a 3-4-2-1 formation with Rasmus Højlund leading the attack.
Højlund, who has struggled throughout the season, did manage to score the equalizing goal in the 90+6th minute, giving United a much-needed point. Bruno Fernandes, the captain as usual, played a huge role in the winning goal. The game saw Bournemouth take the lead in the 23rd minute with a goal from Semenyo, leaving United unable to respond for much of the match. However, a turning point came in the 70th minute when Bournemouth's number 9, Evanilson, who had assisted the first goal, was shown a red card, reducing the visitors to 10 men. This shift in momentum allowed United to push forward.
This goal for Højlund marks his 4th Premier League goal in 29 appearances. The striker has also scored 5 goals and 2 assists in 12 Europa League appearances.While 4 goals in 29 matches is definitely not a big deal for a striker, it could be a huge boost in confidence for Højlund, who seems to have forgotten his striking boots.
According to United manager Ruben Amorim, who showed his support for the striker, Højlund just needed a goal to help him get back on his feet. Hopefully, the equalizing goal against Bournemouth will do the trick for the striker to show up in similar fixtures.
