According to The Sun: In the match at Old Trafford, MANCHESTER UNITED secured victory, withstanding CHELSEA's pressure despite a tense return from the opponent at the end of the match.

Roberto Sanchez's card, which occurred on the fifth minute, significantly impacted the course of the game, and goals from Bruno Fernandes and Casemiro gave 'United' a 2-0 lead at halftime.

However, in the second half, Casemiro was sent off, equalizing the forces on the field. And even though Trevoh Chalobah scored, 'United' managed to hold on until the end.

Below are the player ratings from Ruben Amorim's team by Catherine Walsh from the 'Theatre of Dreams'.

Altay Bayindir – 5

It is worth noting that his pass led to a red card for Chelsea when Roberto Sanchez was sent off. In the first half, the goalkeeper had almost no work to do.

However, he could not withstand the pressure during the goal by Chalobah, as the team struggled with corners.

Noussair Mazraoui – 7

'United' can consider themselves lucky, as the Moroccan returned to the game.

His cross led to Bruno Fernandes' goal, and after he came on, the team became significantly more unstable.

Patrick Dorgu – 6

Amad Diallo – 5

It feels like Amad has lost his confidence. He failed to capitalize on simple moments three times, costing the team.

Casemiro – 3

Casemiro's action raised many questions. The Brazilian went into history for the wrong reasons.

His goal and red card became the first case in Premier League history where a player scored and received a red card in the same half.

An unnecessary foul on Enzo Fernandez led to the first yellow card, and the second was due to carelessness in a collision with Andre Santos.
