After the Champions League group stage victory over Villarreal, Manchester United ushered in the first Premier League game after the departure of Solskjaer, and this time Carrick boldly changed sides, arranging a 4-3-1-2 to let Rashford and Jayden Sancho take on the responsibility of counterattacking, and deployed three backs in midfield to stack the middle defence, with the intention of completely consolidating the defense.

Chelsea were injured, relying on left-back Chilwell Ben Chilwell's anterior cruciate ligament injury, played by Alonso Marcos Alonso, who had recently made fewer starts, and midfielders Mateo Kovacic and Kante Engolo Kante were absent, with Loftus Cheek playing with Jorginho, while Lukaku had just returned from injury, Tuchel said he had not yet returned to the starting level, so he started from the bench.

Not long after the start of the game, Manchester United's defensive line was very disordered, allowing Ziyech Ziyesh and Hudsoi to create threats in the box one after another, if it were not for the poor grasp of the game between the two, Manchester United might have fallen behind early.
The problem of Manchester United in this game is still some old problems, in addition to the disconnection of the frontcourt to allow Chelsea to face calmly, the Bad playing ability of manchester United in the midfield is also maintained, some players hold the ball and fall into a long test, resulting in losing the ball in the backcourt to give the other side a chance, in addition, once Fernandez is not in good shape, the whole team has almost no point of play, making the entire team's attack completely stopped.
In this half-court, the midfield can not send the ball to the front, constantly seeing that Manchester United can not pass the ball to the feet of the attacking players, the big foot is passed out and then becomes the ball conversion, and once Rashford or Jaden Sancho withdraws the support, even if they get the opportunity to counterattack, the frontcourt duo is left with one person, and the threat is greatly reduced.
However, Chelsea also had many problems in this game, there are opportunities, and there are many, but the frontcourt combination lacks a foot in front of the goal, and Marcos Alonso on the wing feels that he has not played first for too long, the overall performance is ordinary, both ends of the attack and defense are playing a little twisted, there is no way to create more opportunities for the team.
Watching his teammates delay scoring goals, 30 minutes Rudiger looked at the gap left after Jayden Sancho walked to the side of the defense, after getting the ball, he shot directly from a distance, the quality of which almost broke through the Manchester United goal, fortunately David De Gea or David De Gea, in the face of Rudiger's shot instant reaction touched, it seems that if the ball is not touched, it is really possible to hit the lintel and bounce in.
Chelsea's five corners of ten shots in the first half were unsure, except for the poor finishing ability of the players in the front court, and the proud ability to score set-pieces was not played out, which gave Manchester United the opportunity to tie the first half.
At the beginning of the second half, Chelsea continued the attack of the first half, so that the Manchester United defense gradually appeared a little flustered, the players on both sides continued to scramble, Fernandez directly kicked the ball away to break the siege, did not expect the accident to happen, Jorginho made a stop mistake, touched the ball away from his own distance of 3 yards, and at the same time Rashford and Sancho were already pressed in front of them, followed by a series of confident performances after Sancho broke the ball, and finally helped Manchester United to score first with a highly concealed push, the score was 1:0.
The ball had to be praised by the two young strikers, both of whom were still on the edge of their own penalty area when Fernandez kicked the ball away, and just as the Chelsea players looked up at the ball, both men were ready to start, and as soon as the ball landed, two defenders appeared in the middle line, so this goal was also partly due to the efforts and tactical execution of the two men.
Rashford and Sancho's rush to kick in was very fast
The rapid pressing gave Jorginho's mistake no chance of remedying it
This unexpected goal gave Manchester United the initiative in the next five minutes, but as soon as Manchester United took the initiative, the original problems at both ends of the attack and defense were immediately amplified, and after being hit several back-to-back balls, Manchester United returned the initiative to Chelsea.
In the 60th point, after C Ronaldo replaced the goal hero Sancho, he did not get the effect, the defense went wrong first, and by the 66th point, Chelsea's twelfth corner of the game finally received the effect, but it was not a set-piece tactic, but Manchester United's Wan Bissaka in the panic, did not realize Silva, kicked to Silva's foot, was awarded a twelve-yard penalty by the referee, and Was handed by Jölkingho.
This time, Jørkingho did not miss another shot against his opponent in red clothes, but completed the blame and helped Chelsea to a 1-1 draw.
After being tied, it means that the initiative of the game is completely handed over to Chelsea, and Chelsea is not satisfied with the home draw, replaced by Pulisic, Mount to increase the impact on the Manchester United defense, but unfortunately still lacks the ability to finish players; and although Manchester United replaced Lindelof and van de Beek, it is clear that they have not given them enough time and support, and they have not pried chelsea's defense.
However, in the 87th minute, Mendy personally opened his own door to give Manchester United a big gift, passed the ball to Santos in front of him, and seeing the opportunity to kill, Santos first did not observe C Ronaldo on the left side, and then did not realize that Lindelof gave way to the middle of the road for him, and finally chose to politely return the ball to Mendy and return the gift.
As the saying goes, the 97th minute, Pulisic found Baily to make up for the side of the space behind the bottom of the cross, the quality of this pass is also very high, just fell to the back point Rüdiger's starting position, but unfortunately Rüdiger did not seize this opportunity, the same refund of the kill gift.
The strengths and weaknesses of both sides in this game are very obvious, but considering the integrity of the squad, Manchester United is a little bit of money.
After this game, Chelsea's winless record against Manchester United continues to be maintained, and has now advanced to 8 consecutive years, while Cristiano Ronaldo has still not been able to break through Chelsea's door in the Premier League, and it is not known whether the next time the two sides meet, they will be able to change these records.
Carrick's guard journey was safely spent in a win and a draw, although United's old problems are still there, but under the influence of injuries, suspensions, etc., being able to successfully stop the defeat is already an acceptable achievement for fans, and with the arrival of new coach Ronnick, we will wait and see.
