Man Utd player ratings vs Chelsea: Casemiro, you lucky boy! Brazilian goes from hero to zero as battling Bruno Fernandes helps keep Ruben Amorim afloat
Altay Bayindir (6/10):
For once he was not the story as he enjoyed a refreshingly uneventful 90 minutes for the most part. Nothing he could do about Chalobah’s goal but made a decent punch to avert some late danger.
Harry Maguire (7/10):
Looked solid, albeit without being tested much by Chelsea’s 10 men, in his first start of the season as Amorim asked him to do his primary job of defending rather than sending him on as a last-resort striker. Despite this, he set up Casemiro’s goal, adorning a fine all-round display.
Matthijs de Ligt (8/10):
Played on the front foot, joining attacks regularly while always being quick to sweep up any danger at the back, such as hooking away a threatening cross from Reece James before Moises Caicedo could connect with it.
Luke Shaw (7/10):
The type of comfortable game (well, until the 80th minute at least) he needed after being knocked about in the derby. Had an angry confrontation with Enzo Fernandez after the first goal and made a vital intervention late on, cleaning up Manuel Ugarte’s mess by sliding in to dispossess Andrey Santos and digging his heels in to ensure they got the win.
