Manchester United defeated Bournemouth 4-1 in another Premier League Summer Series match, thanks to goals from Højlund, Patrick Dogu, Diallo, and Ethan Williams. Dogu expressed his happiness at helping United to victory, adding that the players had better understood manager Amorim's tactical philosophy through pre-season games and training.
In the match against Bournemouth, Patrick Dogu made a lob pass from near the top of the penalty area in the 8th minute, and Hojlund headed the ball into the goal, helping Manchester United take the lead 1-0.
In the 25th minute, Mount passed the ball from the center circle, Patrick Dogu received the ball and broke into the penalty area before pushing the ball into the goal, helping Manchester United continue to lead Bournemouth 2-0. In the 53rd minute of the second half, Diallo won the ball in the melee and scored with a low shot, making the score 3-0.
In the 72nd minute, Diego Leon slipped while dribbling, and Ethan Williams got the ball and shot over the defense, helping Manchester United extend their lead to 4-0. In the 88th minute, Truft made a cross from the penalty area, but De Ligt kicked the ball into his own goal when he cleared it, allowing Bournemouth to tie the game at 1-4.
In the end, Manchester United defeated Bournemouth 4-1.
Patrick Dogu, the 20-year-old Manchester United defender, said, “It feels great to be able to help the team win on the field. We will keep improving and look forward to the new season. Although the weather was bad, it was great to see so many fans come to the scene to support us. We are also very happy to present a wonderful game for the fans.”
"I feel that pre-season has been very helpful for us and has allowed us to better understand the tactical philosophy of coach Amorim. The more we train, the more we can integrate his philosophy. I think this change has begun to be reflected on the pitch, and we will continue to improve."
On the other hand, in the first round of the 2025/26 Premier League season, Manchester United's opponent is Arsenal, so Amorim's team must make good use of the pre-season to improve the overall condition of the players.
Patrick Dogu also said, "I'm really happy to see Højlender score a goal. I hope he can score more goals in the new season. Every game is an opportunity to improve and a process of preparing for the match against Arsenal. Every game is important and we will perform one game at a time."
