00:00Rich, we're here from Manchester World. Manchester United have drawn 1-1 with Chelsea in the Premier League.
00:06In what was probably a fair result, United fans won't be happy with referee Robert Jones, who they felt put a number of challenges Chelsea away to put them lightly.
00:16But in the end, it did feel like a fair result. Bruno Fernandes had given United the lead with a second-half penalty after Rasmus Voigt brought down in the box.
00:24But it only lasted a few minutes as Moyes Caicedo equalised for Chelsea, who swiftly struck Volley from a corner that was headed away by Casemiro.
00:33In the end, 1-1 does feel like a fair point. It's a game in which we didn't really learn too much more about Manchester United.
00:40Rivan Estoroid made one change from the final Premier League side, the Ericsson-Harger name, against West Ham a week ago.
00:46Ugarte came in from the start in place of the injured Christian Ericsson.
00:50And Ugarte, he struggled to really show us the positivity that we'd seen from that Fenerbahce performance a couple of weeks ago.
00:57Ruben Amorim's going to have a real challenge bringing out the best in his form as a sporting midfielder.
01:01Because it was a game in which United's midfield was completely outplayed by Chelsea.
01:05Moyes Caicedo, the man of the match.
01:07It probably could have been a game in which Chelsea's way had come and had a bit more potency in the final third.
01:13The United defenders were all right.
01:15Sandro Martinez and De Ligt were quite good.
01:18Masuari was very good in the left-back role that he hasn't played so often this season.
01:23Diogo Dalot, who struggled at right-back.
01:25In attack, Marcus Rashford, perhaps the best of United's three forwards.
01:30Haaland also worked really hard and got better as the game went on.
01:33Garnaccio, the only one of the three starters up front who survived the entirety of the match.
01:38His performance was baffling at times.
01:42He was kind of a frustrating figure in the final third and wasted some good opportunities.
01:48As United obviously drew one all here.
01:50At the end, United had a late flurry of attacks.
01:53Garnaccio volleyed over the bar.
01:55Fernandes sent a shot into the second tier at the Stratford end.
01:58Chelsea themselves had a few opportunities as well.
02:01It was a game that was quite low in quality in terms of the final third.
02:05Like I said, the midfield battle dictated the way the game was decided.
02:09Chelsea did boss that, but United had those waves of attack as you'd expect at home.
02:14Rudra in the story will be in charge.
02:16United face PAOK in the Europa League in midweek.
02:18His final game will be a week's day in the same Sunday evening slot where United host Leicester City in the Premier League.
02:25Then it will be one more day until Ruben Amorim arrives at Old Trafford.
02:29Who is watching today.
02:30He will have seen that he still has work to do with this United side.
02:33And like I said, particularly with the sporting Lisbon player that he signed.
02:37Meanwhile, Bugate full time from Old Trafford.
02:40Manchester United 1 Chelsea.
