BREAKING: Manchester United Held to 1-1 Draw by Chelsea at Old Trafford
Manchester United’s interim manager Ruud van Nistelrooy was denied a second consecutive win as Moises Caicedo’s stunning volley secured a 1-1 draw for Chelsea at Old Trafford.
The hosts took the lead through Bruno Fernandes’s penalty kick after Robert Sanchez fouled Rasmus Hojlund in the box. However, Chelsea’s equalizer came just minutes later, courtesy of Caicedo’s impressive volley that beat Andre Onana.
The draw marks a disappointing result for Van Nistelrooy, who had hoped to build on Wednesday’s convincing cup win. Meanwhile, incoming manager Ruben Amorim, set to take the reins after the international break, will have taken note of the team’s defensive resilience against a potent Chelsea attack.
With the point, Manchester United and Chelsea maintain their respective positions in the Premier League table, setting the stage for an intense battle in the second half of the season.
