Armando Broja N/A
It was a quiet cameo for Broja, thouhg he did hit the post late in the game. Getty
Andre Onana 7/10
MANCHESTER UNITED RATINGS: Better, though still a few worrying and weird moments. Straightforward saves from Fernandez and Jackson earned him roars of approval. But Chelsea’s equaliser, scored by a MaShow more
Diogo Dalot 7/10
Tidy start on the right, crossing as United dominated. Yet he also got back to defend at key moments. Worked hard until the end. AFP
Victor Lindelof 7/10
His performances are going under the radar – he was excellent at Everton recently. Stopped Sterling moving towards goal on 25 minutes, but lagged behind as Palmer went past him to equalise. Off at halShow more
Harry Maguire 8/10
Had a shot in the build up to the first United goal. Continually put his foot in to block Chelsea attacks. Another big performance when it was needed. PA
Luke Shaw 7/10
Brings balance, gets forward, improves Manchester United. Booked. Moved centrally in the second half. Getter better. EPA
Scott McTominay 8/10
Put his side ahead with a left foot shot. Pressed high, headed a Fernandes cross down on 32 minutes. And a Shaw corner on target after 63. Headed the second in on 70 minutes and went for a hat-trick oShow more
Sofyan Amrabat 7/10
Gave the ball away to set up Chelsea’s first serious attack on 11 minutes. Then won a ball back to set up Antony on 14. Involved, steady, unspectacular. Improved as the game went on. Getty
Alejandro Garnacho 8/10
Came to life at the start of the second half, attempting an overhead kick and then curling a shot wide within a minute. Spun around Reece James, but final balls overhit too often, though his cross foShow more
Bruno Fernandes 8/10
Always involved. Swept a shot over on 2 minutes and then had a weak penalty saved. Then got back to rescue a 4 vs 2 attack on 12 minutes. Wonder cross to McTominay on 32. Spectacular move to win posseShow more
Antony 8/10
Heavily involved at the start and Fernandez standing on his foot earned a penalty. Buzzed about and chipped a beautiful ball over the defence on 27 minutes. Saw a curling effort deflected wide on 60 aShow more
Rasmus Hojlund 6/10
Shot across goal well saved on 2 minutes. Got in positions, begged for the ball. Worked hard. Another game without a goal. AFP
Sergio Reguilon 7/10
SUBSTITUTES: On for Lindelof at half time and went to right-back. Fine tackle on Palmer on 58 minutes. Did well against James. AP
Marcus Rashford N/A
On for Hojlund after 83 minutes. Dropped after poor form all season; Jonny Evans (N/A) - On for Garnacho after 91 to a big roar. EPA
Robert Sanchez 6/10
CHELSEA RATINGS: The keeper saved a penalty and produced another incredible double save. On the flip side, he gave the ball away far too frequently. Reuters
Marc Cucurella 5/10
Was forced to chase shadows for long spells and wound up being dragged off at half time. Reuters
Luke Colwill 4/10
Wound up in no man’s land for the first goal and went to ground far too easily for the second on a night to forget for the defender. EPA
Thiago Silva 5/10
The veteran just didn’t appear to be at the races and really showed his age with some of his decision making and movement. Getty
Axel Disasi 5/10
While he did grow into the game, Disasi needs to have far better spatial awareness and positioning on the pitch. AFP
Enzo Fernandez 5/10
Could hardly complete a pass, which added to his misery after giving away a careless penalty. Reuters
Moises Caicedo 4/10
Was left ball-watching for the first goal and rarely stayed tight to his man when United were in attacking positions. EPA
Mykhailo Mudryk 5/10
Played a nice through ball for the equaliser but aside from that his passing and finishing left a lot to be desired. EPA
Cole Palmer 7/10
The youngster was made to drop far too deep but when given a chance he took it with a lovely finish to equalise. EPA
Raheem Sterling 6/10
Worked hard and moved the ball nicely but ultimately couldn’t carry his team to a substantial result. Getty
Nicolas Jackson 3/10
He gave the ball away for the opener, couldn’t distribute the ball, and failed to make the most of any of his chances in a really dire outing. EPA
Reece James 4/10
SUBSTITUTES: The out-of-favour defender was dragged out of position for the winner and generally looked lethargic after coming on. GettyArmando Broja N/A
