Entertaining game but mostly because no one can control it. I still think Chelsea have more to lose out of this one.
Dave, Melbourne
Are Chelsea terrible in this game or United just too good in this game?

Chelsea 0-0 Manchester United
Amad spins Wesley Fofana again and he only has Mike Penders to beat but he puts it over the bar. A really poor finish but does Fofana clip him?
Not enough for a penalty, VAR says.

Manchester United have made some good opportunities, it's just that final bit of quality. They'll be pleased with what they're creating. There's a little tweak at the moment with Fernandes on the left and Cunha in the 10. They're switching it up from an attacking perspective.

Five minutes left in the half and Chelsea have a corner.
It just hits Moises Caicedo and bounces off the base of the post. He knew absolutely nothing about it.

United are playing like the home team. Chelsea have no organisation, poor pressing and so scrappy with the ball. They don't look like they have a plan at all.

You honestly wouldn't know the likes of Cole Palmer and Morgan Rogers were on the pitch. They've been so quiet.
Chelsea need them two to start playing.

Manchester United must stay focused here.
They are playing well, they have had chances, they thought they were ahead but they are not.
They cannot take their foot off the gas and they cannot afford to get disheartened.

Regardless of Michael Carrick's coaching or managerial skills, he is a top fella and has handled himself superbly with everything that's going on.
Chelsea 0-0 Manchester United
This time, Levi Colwill gets the first contact and Mike Penders mops up the danger.
Chelsea 0-0 Manchester United
Harry Maguire heads back into the mixer but Levi Colwill clears behind again.

Chelsea can't deal with Amad on the United right.
He goes past Moises Caicedo in the box and shapes one towards the far corner but Wesley Fofana blocks behind.

From a Chelsea perspective, offside is offside.

Chelsea need to wake up here. Xabi Alonso's side have been poor.

The left foot. It's harsh but I think he's offside.
Chelsea 0-0 Manchester United
Yep, Matheus Cunha was standing in an offside position.
As we were.
Matheus Cunha (34 mins)
United lead!
Harry Maguire heads back into the mixer and Matheus Cunha is there to finish it off.
But, he might well be offside here.

Amad opens up as if he's aiming for the outside of the post.
He smashes it near post and it's a good save from Mike Penders.
Chelsea 0-0 Manchester United
United's corner is cleared behind for another corner.
Chelsea 0-0 Manchester United
Wesley Fofana has a lapse in concentration and has his pocket picked by Amad.
The United winger is through on goal but he takes too long to shoot and Mike Penders forces the corner.
