Man United player ratings vs Chelsea with two 8/10s as Bryan Mbeumo Brilliant in 2-1 victory with two red cards at Old Trafford

Here are the players’ and manager Ruben Amorim’s ratings at Old Trafford after Man United defeated Chelsea in the Premier League.

Manchester United defeated Chelsea 2-1 on Saturday to record their second victory of the year. Early on, as Robert Sanchez thrashed Bryan Mbeumo and was sent off, the visitors were down to ten men.

Nine minutes later, Bruno Fernandes pushed the ball home as United capitalized on their one-man advantage.

Here are how the players rated at Old Trafford:

Altay Bayindir

Had to keep himself warm in the first half to ensure he was not caught cold by Chelsea. No chance for Chalobah’s goal. 6

Matthijs de Ligt

Made the most of Sanchez’s expulsion by breaking into the final third to supplement the attack and he was defensively dominant. 7

Harry Maguire

Recalled for his first league start of the season and United were better off with Maguire. Relished the duels with Joao Pedro. Should not have come off. 7

Luke Shaw

A contentious starter yet Shaw threw his body at the ball to make the second goal possible and his physicality restricted Chelsea. Great recovery tackle. 7

Noussair Mazraoui

A big improvement on the derby. Mazraoui is usually a reluctant attacker but was ever-present in the final third and key to build-ups. 7

Casemiro

His goal was bookended by two yellow cards. Needlessly fouled Enzo Fernandez and brainlessly pulled back Andrey Santos to get sent off. 5

Bruno Fernandes

His role won’t be talked about after this performance. Timed his run perfectly to put United ahead and proactive with the ball. Another inspirational performance. 8

Patrick Dorgu

Had a better understanding with Amad than at City and his superbly-guided header was converted by Fernandes. Defensively slack at times. 6

Bryan Mbeumo

Magisterial from the start. Almost scored before he secured the numerical advantage of Sanchez’s dismissal and Chelsea could not get the measure of him. 8

Amad

Had a better understanding with Dorgu than at City and his movement caused Chelsea problems. Switched to a wider role in the second half. 7

Benjamin Sesko

Great flick on for Mbeumo that led to the red card. Sesko’s movement was impressive and he pinned Chelsea defenders until his tactical withdrawal after Casemiro was sent off. 7
