On May, 20, 2023, AFC Bournemouth took on Manchester United at Vitality Stadium in Bournemouth, Dorset. The match, which had an attendance of 11,329, started at 14:00 and ended with a 1-0 victory for Manchester United. The winning goal came in the 9th minute of the game, when Casemiro scored.

In the first half, both teams played aggressively, but Manchester United managed to take the lead early on. The match witnessed Bournemouth making three substitutions: Kieffer Moore replaced David Brooks in the 56th minute, Dango Ouattara came on for Ryan Christie in the 66th minute, and Matias Viña took the place of Adam Smith also in the 66th minute. Manchester United also had four substitutions, with Wout Weghorst, Alejandro Garnacho, Scott McTominay, and Fred replacing Anthony Martial, Jadon Sancho, Christian Eriksen, and Antony, respectively.

Despite a few close calls for Bournemouth, they were unable to equalize, and the match ended in a 1-0 victory for Manchester United. This win is crucial for Manchester United's chances at qualifying for the UEFA Champions League as they now need just one point from their remaining two games to secure a spot in the top 4. Fans expressed their dissatisfaction with the performance of Manchester United's forwards, especially Antony, who appeared to be lacking in confidence and unable to make an impact. On the other hand, Casemiro and goalkeeper David De Gea were praised for their performances during the match.

Overall, this victory puts Manchester United one step closer to securing their place in the UEFA Champions League, but the team will need to improve on their attacking weaknesses if they hope to advance further in the competition and beyond.
