Man Ud fans are left fuming at the state of Bournemouth's pitch during 2-2 draw

Manchester United fans were left fuming at the state of Bournemouth's pitch during their 2-2 draw at the Vitality Stadium.

Erik ten Hag's men had to fight from behind twice to claim a point as their winless run continued into their fourth successive game.

Dominic Solanke fired the hosts ahead with a brilliant move before finishing, with Bruno Fernandes levelling the scores on the 31st minute.

Justin Kluivert restored the Cherries' lead just five minutes later before a second half Fernandes penalty saw the spols shared.

Taking to X, formerly known as Twitter, one fan wrote: 'Is what Bournemouth have done to this pitch even allowed?

His sentiment was shared by several other United supporters, including The United Stand owner Mark Goldbridge.

'Fair play Bournemouth,' he wrote. 'Drench the pitch and our players are skating on ice. Goal comes from that.'

Another fan accused the Cherries of watering just one side of their pitch as they asked: 'Is a team allowed to soak only one half of the pitch with water as Bournemouth appear to have done?'

Other football fans were not having United's excuses, with one writing: 'The Bournemouth watered the pitch excuse is becoming more and more like the couldn’t see our players in a grey kit excuse.

'Embarrassing from fans of the biggest club in the world.'

While another pointed out that the pitch would be the same for both sides, so Bournemouth would not gain any advantage.
