United interim manager Michael Carrick described refereeing decisions as "baffling" and "crazy" after his side drew 2-2 at Bournemouth on Friday. The visitors took a second-half lead through a Bruno Fernandes penalty, awarded after Matheus Cunha was fouled by Alex Jimenez. Controversy followed when Amad Diallo was denied a spot-kick for a challenge by Adrien Truffert.
Bournemouth equalised through Ryan Christie just 25 seconds after the rejected appeal. Per Sky Sports, VAR confirmed the on-field decision that contact on Diallo was insufficient. United regained the lead via a James Hill own goal, but Harry Maguire was later sent off for a foul on Evanilson. Junior Kroupi converted the resulting penalty to equalise again.
Carrick claimed the foul on Maguire was "remarkably similar" to the unpunished challenge on Diallo, according to OneFootball. The result leaves United third in the Premier League table with 55 points from 31 matches, per NBC Sports. Bournemouth sit in 10th place with 42 points.
