Man United 4-4 Bournemouth: "Crazy game" dissected by Ruben Amorim as Red Devils show their best and their worst

Manchester United head coach Ruben Amorim has said that his team should have been out of sight at the interval of Monday's Premier League clash with Bournemouth.

In what will be considered an all-time Premier League classic, Man United and Bournemouth played out a 4-4 draw at Old Trafford on Monday night.

Man United led 1-0 and 2-1 before falling 3-2 behind early in the second period, but the Red Devils then turned the game around to lead 4-3 heading into the latter stages of the contest, with Bruno Fernandes and Matheus Cunha on the scoresheet.

Bournemouth refused to be beaten, scoring a fourth of their own in the 84th minute through Eli Junior Kroupi, and Man United goalkeeper Senne Lammens then needed to come up with two smart saves late on to earn the 20-time English champions a point.

"It's really disappointing. We are really disappointed. Crazy game. It might look like we lost the two points in the second half but I think we lost them in the first half," Amorim told BBC Sport.

"We dominated and created so many chances. We had to go to half-time with a different result. In the end we deserved more. It was a fun game for everyone at home.

"People especially at Old Trafford want to win but they want to be inspired to see a team play good football. We did that well in certain moments.

"It was a good performance but we need to be more clinical because created so many chances.

"Lammens did really well. There were opportunities for both sides. We created more. We need to find ways of closing the games because this happened many times. That's part of the process. We try to do things the best we can but in some moments it's not enough."

In a separate interview with Sky Sports News, Amorim said: "It was a fun game for everyone at home. I think we started really well. We did a good first half.

"The result should be completely different. And then again, six minutes of the second half, similar to Nottingham [Forest], we lost the concentration, and they score two goals.

Amorim takes positives from "crazy" Premier League clash

"But we managed to get back to the game, we scored two goals again, and then we have to finish the game. Just a throw-in in our possession, we have to close and think about not to go again, to stay calm and close the game.

"I saw the effort of the players, I saw the effort of the defence, and at the end of the game, you make 4-3, I had the feeling that we would continue to push and score another one. We tried but in the end it was a draw.

"A lot of good things, but a lot of things to work [on]. We are not winning games sometimes in the details. It's not because it's a back four, back three, back five.

"It's the details that we need to work, understand the momentum of the game and we need to be clinical. Again, today against a very good team, we created many chances to win the game, and we should have won the three points."

The point was enough to move Man United into sixth spot in the Premier League table, two points behind fourth-placed Chelsea ahead of Sunday's trip to Aston Villa.
