Man Utd Attack Stumbles in Chelsea Loss: Player Ratings

Man United's attack went AWOL at Stamford Bridge, as they suffered a frustrating 1-0 defeat to Chelsea. The Red Devils looked toothless in attack, failing to truly test Kepa Arrizabalaga in the Chelsea goal.

The game was a tale of two halves. In the first, United looked lively and created some decent chances. Bruno Fernandes was pulling the strings, but his shots were either off target or saved by a determined Kepa. Antony, on the other hand, was a real handful with his pace and trickery, causing havoc for the Chelsea defence. But the second half was a different story.

Chelsea came out of the blocks flying and deservedly took the lead through a well-taken goal from Enzo Fernandez. United struggled to get into the game and their attack, which was so promising in the first half, seemed to have gone missing. It was a frustrating performance from Ten Hag's side, who desperately needed a win to keep pace with the top teams.

Here are the player ratings from the game:

Man United Player Ratings

David de Gea (6/10): Made a few important saves, but looked shaky at times. Couldn't do much about the goal.

Aaron Wan-Bissaka (7/10): Solid defensively, provided good support going forward.

Raphael Varane (6/10): Had a decent game, but was caught out a few times by Chelsea's attacking runs.

Lisandro Martinez (6/10): Strong in the tackle, but gave away a few needless fouls.

Luke Shaw (5/10): Struggled to contain Reece James, and offered little going forward.

Casemiro (6/10): A steady presence in midfield, but couldn't control the tempo of the game.

Christian Eriksen (6/10): Started brightly, but faded as the game went on.

Bruno Fernandes (7/10): The most creative player on the pitch, but couldn't find the back of the net.

Antony (7/10): A constant threat down the right wing, but couldn't get a clear shot on goal.

Marcus Rashford (5/10): Anonymous for most of the game.

Wout Weghorst (5/10): Worked hard, but didn't get much service from his teammates.

Subs:

Alejandro Garnacho (6/10): Brought some energy to the attack, but couldn't change the outcome.

Scott McTominay (5/10): Came on late, but didn't make much of an impact.

The Red Devils need to bounce back quickly, as they face a tough run of games coming up. Their attack needs to find its shooting boots, and they need to defend better to avoid another frustrating defeat.
