Revealed : Man Utd player ratings vs Chelsea: Ronaldo steals a point but 8 team-mates let him down

 

Cristiano Ronaldo stole a share of 

the points for Manchester United against

 Chelsea at Old Trafford on a night that

 could have been much worse for the 

hosts. Chelsea dominated possession 

and could have been three up when 

Marcos Alonso volleyed home the 

opening goal on the hour mark. Ronaldo

 was picked out by Nemanja Matic 

two minutes later and he was clinical 

from close range. However, eight of 

Ronaldo's team-mates failed to show

 up on a big night under the lights.

MAN UTD (4-2-3-1)

David De Gea 7

A number of smart saves, the pick of 

them to keep out a Kai Havertz header

 from close range in the first half.

Diego Dalot 5

Struggled to get near Chelsea's wide 

men and was nowhere to be seen when 

Marcos Alonso volleyed home at the 

back post.

Victor Lindelof 5

Was caught deeper than the rest of his 

line on a number of occasions 

Raphael Varane 5

Failed to stamp his mark on defense, 

which was constantly pulled apart by 

Chelsea's attacking movement.

Alex Telles 4

Reece James had more touches than 

any other player on the pitch and most

 of them came down Telles' side. James

 almost scored the winner but his effort

 crashed off the post.

Scott McTominay 5

Struggled to break down Chelsea's attack

 as the visitors dominated possession.

Nemanja Matic 6

Was found wanting in the first half but 

supplied Ronaldo with a clever pass for

 the equaliser.

Anthony Elanga 5

Did not see much of the ball so was 

unable to create any attacking opportunities.

Bruno Fernandes 5

Far from his dazzling best and was frequently

 caught on the ball by N'Golo Kante.

Marcus Rashford 5

Another tough evening for Rashford

 who was whisked off for birthday boy

 Juan Mata after 79 minutes.

Cristiano Ronaldo 7

A brilliant first touch and finish to score

 the equaliser. Also produced a good 

save from Edouard Mendy late on.
