Man Utd draw with Chelsea

At home, Man Utd hosted Chelsea in a match led by interim manager Ruud van Nistelrooy. The 5-2 victory over Leicester in the middle of the week did not help the Red Devils improve their quality of play. After the opening whistle, Man Utd wanted to push up the squad but were met by a solid Chelsea. Moises Caicedo and Romeo Lavia created a solid wall in the midfield.

All the first dangerous chances belonged to Chelsea. In the 9th minute, Palmer had a dangerous shot but Mathijs de Ligt saved it in time. 6 minutes later, it was still the English midfielder who took a corner kick for Madueke to head the ball against the post of Onana's goal.

Two near misses woke up the Man Utd defence and midfielders. The home team played more solidly and gradually eased the pressure on the defence. On the attacking front, Bruno Fernandes continued to be the focus. But the Portuguese midfielder was unable to prove his effectiveness in the first 45 minutes. The first half ended without a goal.

In the second half, Man Utd suddenly increased the speed of the match. In the 47th minute, Bruno Fernandes crossed the ball very well for Marcus Rashford to finish but the ball hit the post. In the following time, Man Utd played well but the players were unlucky in front of the opponent's goal. Garnacho's shot lacked power even though he only had goalkeeper Robert Sanchez in front of him.

In the 70th minute, Bruno Fernandes unexpectedly opened the scoring after a successful penalty kick. But coach Van Nistelrooy and his team could not keep the result for long. In the 74th minute, Moises Caicedo shot powerfully from a distance to equalize 1-1 for Chelsea. In the last few minutes of the match, both teams failed to take advantage of the opportunity and had to accept a draw.

Man Utd's performance still does not bring much hope to the fans. New coach Ruben Amorim himself must be very worried if looking at the way his new students play.
