Maguire sees red as Man United held to 2-2 draw by Bournemouth

Harry Maguire's red card and penalty conceded cost Manchester United two points as Bournemouth extended their unbeaten streak to 11 games, sitting 10th in the Premier League.

  • Manchester United drew 2-2 with Bournemouth at the Vitality Stadium on Friday, settling for a point after twice holding the lead as defender Harry Maguire received a red card for fouling Evanilson.
  • Earlier on Friday, Harry Maguire celebrated a recall to the England squad for the first time since September 2024, while manager Michael Carrick has lost only once in 10 games since taking charge of the Red Devils.
  • Captain Bruno Fernandes converted a 61st-minute penalty to give United the lead, which they restored through a James Hill own goal after Ryan Christie equalized, though United felt aggrieved when Amad Diallo was denied a second penalty appeal.
  • Manager Michael Carrick told Sky Sports, "We had a situation where we could have gone 3-1 up," noting the team suffered after failing to secure a penalty; United remained third in the Premier League.
  • Extending their unbeaten league run to 11 games with this fifth-consecutive draw, Bournemouth remain 10th in the table, while the result hampers United's quest for Champions League qualification.
