Manchester United closer to the Premier League top four after a well-deserved 2-1 victory against Chelsea Ten Hag's gamble in both Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial United open period to without any adding to their lead, and were made the stroke in half when Cole Palmer fired home a well-placed strike from just in the area.Bruno Fernandes saw an early penalty saved by Robert Sanchez after been fouled in the box by Enzo Fernandez by VAR.And United failed to convert a number of other golden opportunities in the match, registering 28 attempts but just nine on target cross the 90 minutes.Chelsea thanks to an excellent Cole Palmer finish following a jinking run across the edge of the box, and the Blues could have had more goals of their own, with Nicolas Jackson and Mykhaylo Mudryk particularly wasteful, with the visitors catching United repeatedly on the break.This win was a long way from a perfect performance from Ten Hag’s side.United manager will have been delighted to see the effort that his team put in to bounce back from the lacklustre loss against Newcastle who could both have been extremely dangerous in such an open game lack of pace in the back-line was exposed time and again by Chelsea, and the United midfield struggled to control the game or offer much protection to the defenders in transition,and there were enough positives in this game to give the squad hope of improved fortunes down the line

For Chelsea there is even more thinking to do, with their expensively-assembled squad looking all at sea for large parts of the game, and relying primarily on a lightning-quick front three on the break.
