Manchester United’s woes were on full display after they allowed Chelsea to climb back into the Premier League contest at Stamford Bridge on Saturday afternoon.
Michael Carrick saw the Red Devils make a strong start to the first half and Matheus Cunha had a potential opener against Chelsea chalked off at the weekend.
Manchester United’s chances against Chelsea in the opening 45 minutes were wasted by the likes of Bruno Fernandes, Amad Diallo and Bryan Mbeumo. The Red Devils produced 12 shots in total across the full 90 minutes in Saturday’s 2-0 defeat at Stamford Bridge, but Chelsea outdid Man Utd by seven more shots.
