Ruud van Nistelrooy’s honeymoon period as caretaker manager came to a halt on Sunday when his Manchester United team fell to an ugly 1-1 draw with Chelsea.

In a match that did not provide much quality at either end of the pitch, it was a Bruno Fernandes penalty that put the Red Devils ahead, only for Moisés Caicedo to produce the only highlight with an expert volley to earn himself a share of the marker. swag.

Here are United’s best and worst players according to 90 minutesplayer ratings.

Noussair Mazraoui – 8/10

Once again playing as a makeshift left back, Noussair Mazraoui put in a truly stellar performance to neutralize Chelsea’s right side.

Despite not being on par with either Noni Madueke or Pedro Neto when it came to athleticism, the Moroccan international used every ounce of his intelligence and class to comfortably win his individual battles, offering a sense of calm that was not always easy to find among the United team. .

Bruno Fernandez – 7/10

This was far from a classic Fernandes performance, but the Portugal international’s resurgence continued here with a composed finish from the penalty spot when United needed it most.

His ability with the ball at his feet was key to Unitedof maneuvering through Chelsea’s energetic press, so hopefully Fernandes can gain some much-needed confidence from this composed performance.

Manuel Ugarte – 5/10

Manuel Ugarte’s rare moment of quality has not yet been attractive enough to earn the criticism that his irregular performances have generated.

André Onana – 5/10

André Onana couldn’t have done much when Caicedo’s surprising equalizer came, but unfortunately for the goalkeeper, that wasn’t the blemish that left his own teammates throwing their arms in the air.

Onana’s distribution (he completed only five of 17 long balls) provoked several frustrated reactions from his teammates, who clearly felt they could have made more inroads forward with a precise pass from behind.
