United competed with Enzo Maresca’s men throughout and thought they had found a winner when Bruno Fernandes converted from the penalty spot in the 70th minute. However, Moises Caicedo’s volley just four minutes later denied Ruud van Nistelrooy a second win as interim boss.
It’s fair to say the contest was an unspectacular encounter but United avoided defeat against one of the league’s top teams. However, problems in attack laid bare for Amorim to see and if the Portuguese didn’t know the size of the task that awaits him before, he does now.

Alejandro Garnacho, United’s Premier League top scorer this season with just two, failed to convert a good opportunity while Rasmus Hojlund went 68 minutes without touching the ball in Chelsea’s penalty area. Marcus Rashford’s problems were summed-up perfectly when he volleyed Bruno Fernandes’ pass over.
