Man United find bite, Amorim system success to beat Chelsea

Manchester, England-Manchester United released the pressure on coach Ruben Amorim with a 2-1 tense victory against Chelsea at Old Trafford on Saturday after the two games were reduced ten players after the red boxes in the first half.

The goals of Bruno Fernandes and Casemiro put United 2-0 before half-time after the Chelsea goalkeeper, Robert Sánchez, was sent to the fifth minute for a fault on Bryan Mbeumo. But with Casemiro also returned by referee Peter Bankes for two yellow cards in the first half, United endured a second nerve half, especially when Trevoh Chalobah scored for Chelsea in the 80th minute.

Despite a final anxious period, however, United made it only claimed his second victory of the season – a victory that moves them in the upper half of the table after starting the match in 17th position, a place above the relegation zone. – Mark Ogden

Man United rediscover their bite to beat Chelsea

Whether it is a reaction to the criticism of their performance during the 3-0 defeat of last week derby at Manchester City or simply at the cover of the weeks of frustration, the players of Manchester United showed much more bite and aggression than usual on the path of victory against Chelsea.

Former Uni captain, Roy Keane, hinted at the lack of fight of his former club after the city defeat by deploring the lack of yellow cards at Etihad, but United showed a lot of mind in this game. Casemiro was reserved for an early fault on Enzo Fernández, who set the tone to a thorny first half – a half that ended with the former field of Real Madrid Sent for a second yellow after another fault on Andrey Santos.

– Dawson, Ogden: Should Man United keep Amorim or move on?

It was not only Casemiro that is involved in physical stuff, however.

Luke Shaw had two clashes with Fernández, one of whom he pushed the Chelsea midfielder on the side of the field, and Harry Maguire was involved a long battle with João Pedro. Shaw’s confrontation with Fernández continued at the final whistle.

Matthijs de Ligt was another united player who produced robust challenges, and the cumulative effect of the assault was that the fans stopped behind the local team, ensuring that the crowd and the home team were fed. Too often, these united players lose their personal battles against direct opponents, but not that day, and that is a great reason why they sealed the three points. – Ogden

Chelsea unable to recover from Nightmare Start

It was a disastrous beginning for Chelsea, and they never recovered.

Sánchez was expelled after only five minutes. The boss of the Blues, Enzo Maresca, will be particularly unhappy that he comes from a long ball in front of Altay Bayindir before a simple flashing of Benjamin Sesko sends Mbeumo to the races.

The red card forced Maresca to an early reshuffle with Estêvão and Pedro Neto sacrificed. Neto was so bored by the decision that he let out a strong cry while he was walking away.

To make matters worse, Cole Palmer was forced with an injury after only 20 minutes. They never seemed to find their composure in the first half, and the defense of the two united goals – first of Fernandes and then of Casemiro – was poor. Casemiro’s goal was particularly disjointed.

With Estevao, Neto and Palmer on the ground, it meant that Chelsea could not enjoy the red box of Casemiro just before half-time. They were better in the second half and had more balls, but with their main attacking threats, all seated on the bench, they had a hard time creating significant chances until Chalobah’s goal of consolation. – Rob Dawson

The Amorim system is finally starting to click

Amorim may not get credit because the two united goals were speaking when they played 11 against 10 in the first half. There were, however, pleasant signs for the Portuguese coach.

Wing Backs Patrick Dorgu and We have Mazraoui had a lot of space in the first half and saw a lot of ball. Dorgu almost installed Mbeumo with a crossing of the left after only three minutes.

Fernandes’ goal was back to the wing with Mazraoui Crossing so that Dorgu turns through the goal. Casemiro’s goal was also launched by a Mazraoui cross from the right before a dorgu’s head in the box.

United started even before Sánchez’s red card. They dominated the first half and the game was only complicated by sending Casemiro.

If nothing else, it is a result that buys amorim a well -necessary respiratory space. Another bad result would have resulted in more pressure. He still hasn’t left the woods, but United will go to Brentford at least next weekend at the back of a certain positivity.

Win this and the next against Sunderland at Old Trafford and Amorim can enjoy an international break without stress in October without fear that he can receive an unwanted call from Sir Jim Ratcliffe. – Dawson

Does the congestion of the luminaire catch Chelsea?

Palmer only lasted 21 minutes from this match before launching with what seemed to be a groin injury; The Chelsea striker has been reappeared from the locker room with an ice bag on the groin that shortly after being removed by Maresca.

With the six -week season, Palmer is now faced with his second layoff in the campaign, after having already missed two Premier League games with a groin problem.

It is too early to say if the 23 -year -old suffered a recurrence of the same injury, but whatever, it is always a concern for Chelsea that his best player has already been injured twice this term. Palmer was a key member of the winning team of the Chelsea FIFA World Cup who was forced to play to the New Jersey final on July 13, and the risk of professional exhaustion and fatigue of the players was raised by fitness experts before the tournament.

Is Palmer victim of the extended season? If his injury problems are a sign of things to come – Trent Alexander -Arnold, from Real Madrid, who also appeared at the club World Cup during the summer, is faced with two months with a hamstring injury suffered last week – then pay attention to the big stars with injury problems to the male world cup next summer. – Ogden

Casemiro’s carelessness endangered

Nothing comes easily for United right now, and against Chelsea, it was mainly because of Casemiro. The Brazilian scored to reach 2-0 and this amorim team point in Navigué.

Then the midfielder decided to fly Santos just before half-time despite a reservation. It was a gentle yellow card of Bankes, and one could say by the reaction of Casemiro that he did not think it was worth a second reservation, but he should know better.

The 33 -year -old is one of the most experienced players of the United team after playing more than 600 games. The last thing he had to do at that time was to give the arbitrator a decision to make.

His red card has exerted unnecessary pressure on United, and Chelsea could have hampered a point during a frantic final.

Amorim has enough problems to manage without his own players adding them. Fortunately for Casemiro and Amorim, United got away. – Dawson
