All four goals scored in dramatic second half
Bruno Fernandes opens scoring from penalty spot
Ryan Christie equalises with fine finish moments after Man Utd denied second penalty
James Hill own goal gives Man Utd lead again
Harry Maguire sent off for foul on Evanilson and Junior Kroupi equalises from spot
Harry Maguire was sent off for Manchester United on the day he was recalled to the England squad as Junior Kroupi's penalty rescued a point for Bournemouth.
The defender had earlier on Friday earned a return to the international fold for the first time since 2024 after being named in Thomas Tuchel's squad for upcoming friendlies against Uruguay and Japan.
But a day that had started so well ended in disappointment as he was shown a straight red card for pulling back Evanilson inside the box when Manchester United led 2-1.
Kroupi then stepped up to calmly convert the spot-kick and earn Bournemouth a draw.
All the drama happened in the second half after a goalless first 45 minutes.
The visitors took the lead when they were awarded a penalty after Alex Jimenez needlessly tugged back Matheus Cunha inside the box.
Bruno Fernandes stepped up to send the goalkeeper the wrong way for his eighth Premier League goal of the season.
But Bournemouth were level when, after Manchester United had been denied a second penalty when Amad Diallo went down inside the box, Ryan Christie slotted in a fine finish from the edge of the box.
However, Manchester United regained the lead moments later when Fernandes' corner skimmed off the head of Marcos Senesi and was then then turned into the back of his own net by James Hill.
All three goals came in the space of 10 dramatic minutes, before Bournemouth went close to equalising when Alex Scott's fine strike struck the woodwork, hit Senne Lammens but then bounced just wide.
However there was more drama to come with nine minutes to go when Maguire gifted the hosts the chance to level from the spot, which Kroupi took.
'I don't understand how you can give one and not the other' - Carrick on penalty decisions
Penalty decisions played a key theme in the dramatic second half of this game, after a fairly quiet first 45 minutes.
Both sides were awarded a spot-kick each but Manchester United will perhaps feel aggrieved that a decision went against them, which could have led to them going 2-0 up and likely on course for the win.
That came when Fernandes' excellent ball sent Amad Diallo away into the box and the Ivorian went down under a challenge by Adrien Truffert.
The incident was being checked by the video assistant referee as Bournemouth went up the other end and equalised, leading to a nervous couple of minutes for both teams as they awaited the outcome of the review, before the on-field decision stood.
Despite that, Manchester United did manage to regain the lead before Maguire's day of elation went to frustration as he was sent off, although the visitors will feel frustrated that his foul led to a penalty when Diallo did not get one in similar circumstances at the other end.
The defender's good form under interim boss Michael Carrick has clearly not gone unnoticed by England boss Tuchel, who has opted to give him the chance to win his first cap since September 2024.
But his contribution to Manchester United's game against Bournemouth ensured he was in the headlines on Friday for both good and bad reasons.
'I don't think there is much to discuss' - Iraola on penalty decisions
This has been a strange season for Bournemouth in that it started superbly and had a big dip in the middle, but have picked up once again and are embarking on a club record-equalling run.
Kroupi's penalty ensured they extended their unbeaten run to 11 games, just about keeping them in the hunt to finish in the European places as they sit 10th, one point off eighth place.
They arguably had the better of this game until Fernandes' penalty but lacked a clinical touch in the final third.
However, they produced battling qualities to twice come from behind and earn a deserved point.
But while their unbeaten run is impressive it is now five successive draws, which they know they will need to start turning into wins if they are to snatch a finish in the European spots.
It is a while before either side are in action again, with the international break up next.
Bournemouth's next Premier League game is a trip to leaders Arsenal on Saturday, 11 April (12:30 BST).
Manchester United, meanwhile, next host Leeds on Monday, 13 April (20:00).

Bournemouth are unbeaten in their last five Premier League games against Manchester United (W2 D3), scoring more goals in these five (13) than they did in their first 12 against the Red Devils in the division (10).
Manchester United have lost just two of their eight away Premier League games against Bournemouth (W4 D2). Their last two visits to the Vitality Stadium have seen them come from behind to draw.
Bournemouth have won three of their four Friday night games in the Premier League, with the exception being a 4-2 loss at Liverpool in the opening game this season.
Manchester United have won just one of their five away Friday night games in the Premier League (D2 L2), beating Aston Villa 1-0 in August 2015.
Bournemouth have drawn each of their last four Premier League games, three of which have been goalless. The last side to draw five consecutive matches in the competition were Fulham in December 2020/January 2021.
Since Michael Carrick took charge of Manchester United in January, the Red Devils have won more Premier League games (7) and more Premier League points (22) than any other side.
Bournemouth are looking to keep three consecutive clean sheets in the Premier League for the first time since November 2019, when they had two goalless draws followed by a 1-0 win against Manchester United. Overall they’ve kept nine clean sheets this season, only keeping more in the top-flight in 2016-17 and 2018-19 (10).
Man Utd’s Bruno Fernandes has been involved in eight goals in his eight Premier League games against Bournemouth (4 goals, 4 assists), though only two of these (2 goals, 0 assists) have come at the Vitality Stadium.
Each of Casemiro’s last five Premier League goals this season has been assisted by Bruno Fernandes. Only Marcus Rashford has been set up by the same player more in a single campaign for Manchester United in the competition (6 by Fernandes in 2022-23).
Man Utd’s Bruno Fernandes has created 6+ chances in each of his last three Premier League games, the first player to do so since Trent Alexander-Arnold in December 2023. No player on record (from 2003-04) has created six or more chances in four successive appearances in the competition.
