Man Utd Player Ratings vs Chelsea As Midfielder Shines (Premier League)
Andrey Santos commands the engine room at Stamford Bridge while Bruno Fernandes suffers a frustrating return to the lineup during a tense, disallowed goal-filled clash in West London.
Michael Carrick reinstated Bruno Fernandes to his starting XI as Manchester United travelled to West London to take on big-six rivals Chelsea in a crunch Premier League clash.
The opening 20 minutes were an even affair, with Chelsea having a goal ruled out for offside, while Fernandes missed a sitter at the other end after a wonderful cross from Bryan Mbeumo.
Matheus Cunha had the ball in the net for United after 33 minutes, but the goal was ruled offside because the Brazilian had been pushed offside as he received it. Amad missed a few great chances before half-time, but the tie remained goalless for the first half.
Below are ratings from United's players so far as they prepare for the second half.
United player ratings vs Chelsea
Senne Lammens – 5/10
Lucky that Estevao was offside when Lammens parried the ball to the Brazilian. Had little else to do otherwise.
Leny Yoro – 7/10
Another game at right-back, and looked confident defending in the opening minutes.
Harry Maguire – 6/10
A couple of nervy moments with Chelsea's fast attack but dealt with it well,
Lisandro Martínez – 6/10
Generally strong with no major errors
Diogo Dalot – 5/10
A few loose touches but trying to get United forward when possible.
Carlos Baleba – 7/10
Heavily involved battling Caicedo,
Andrey Santos – 7.5/10
Great first-half from Santos, looked confident on the ball as well as defending.
Bruno Fernandes – 6/10
Back to his erratic self. Some world-class creative moments combined with missing a sitter in the first half.
Amad – 6/10
Full of energy but lacked a killer final ball or shot. Got himself in some brilliant positions, but couldn't finish anything.
Bryan Mbeumo – 7/10
Involved in all United's best attacks as he has been this season, needs to trust his teammates on final deliveries.
Matheus Cunha – 7/10
Working his socks off pressing the back line, really unlucky to be pushed offside fo rhis goal.
