? United equal unwanted Premier League record of City and Chelsea

On Monday (15th), Manchester United drew 4-4 with Bournemouth at Old Trafford, closing out the 16th round of the Premier League.

The result, in addition to leaving the Red Devils in sixth place with 26 points, also marked an "undesired" milestone.

That's because Manchester United led the score three times during the match and still didn’t win. The last time this happened was with rivals City and Chelsea, in November 2023.

Even playing in front of their home fans, the Red Devils failed to hold onto their lead after goals from Diallo and Casemiro, both in the first half, and, in the second half, when Matheus Cunha scored the fourth goal.

Defensive errors and lack of control weighed on the final result, showing an unstable team, with an efficient attack at times, but an almost always vulnerable defense.

A true rollercoaster of emotions.
