16' GOAL! Man Utd 0-1 Bournemouth (Stanislas)
United have had all of the ball, but one cross into the area causes issues for their defence. Stanislas picks up the scraps and, after easily getting past Maguire, he slots in beyond De Gea at the near post.
29' GOAL! Man Utd 1-1 Bournemouth (Greenwood)
That is a real moment of quality from the hosts, with Greenwood having unleashed a brilliant strike that Ramsdale could only parry up into the net. Rashford got down the right, turning it back to Fernandes who, in turn, found the youngster.
35' Penalty Goal! Man Utd 2-1 Bournemouth (Rashford)
United lead now, with their number 10 having calmly sent a low finish into the bottom-right corner. Ramsdale guessed the right way, but couldn’t get down to it.
36' OFFSIDE! Brooks' goal disallowed
De Gea and Maguire again combine to put the hosts in trouble, with the duo attempting to play it out from the back. Maguire’s pass is then blocked into the path of Solanke, who finishes, but he is flagged offside.
47' GOAL! Man Utd 3-1 Bournemouth (Martial)
That is a sublime, sensational strike from Martial, who puts United 3-1 up in some style. Fernandes fed it out wide, with Shaw making a good overlapping run to give Martial the space to cut inside and, from there, the France international plants a wonderful finish into the top-right corner.
49' Penalty Goal! Man Utd 3-2 Bournemouth (King)
Bournemouth think they’re level after Danjuma races through and sends a low finish across De Gea. However, the winger had just strayed offside.
52' OFFSIDE! Danjuma’s goal disallowed
NO GOAL! Bournemouth think they’re level after Danjuma races through and sends a low finish across De Gea. However, the winger had just strayed offside.
54' GOAL! Man Utd 4-2 Bournemouth (Greenwood)
What an incredible goal from Greenwood! United have been under pressure but they manage to keep a move alive after a bit of pinball in the area. The ball falls to Greenwood and, after skipping away from Ramsdale, the youngster slams a fantastic right-footed finish into the top-right corner. However, there is going to be a VAR check for offside.
59' GOAL! Man Utd 5-2 Bournemouth (Bruno Fernandes)
What a strike from Fernandes. Well, it’s surely game over now, as United’s star man curls a strike into the left-hand corner. However, there’s going to be a check for offside on Matic, who appeared to be in the eyeliner of Ramsdale.
