Manchester United claimed the necessary victory last night, improving Enzo Maresca’s Chelsea side and securing a 2-1 victory in a silly clash at Old Trafford.
Robert Sanchez’s red card within the first five minutes of the meeting certainly supported the chances of the Red Devils in victory, with visitors playing the rest of the meeting with 10 men.
However, minutes before the break, Casemiro’s second yellow card handed the route back to the contest, but Reuben Amorim’s men held three key points.
The victory was the club’s second campaign, with both victory appearing in the soil of their homeland after both victories defeating Burnley in the Theatre of Dreams.
Two players played a major role on the side walking the winner. Despite the disappointing performances on the club’s field, it has been a shining light in recent months.
Bruno and Amado statistics against Chelsea
Bruno Fernandez has been United’s captain in recent years and despite his midfield role, he has been heavily responsible for delivering goods within the last third.
Portugal International rolled the ball in the victory and scored their first goal after reaching the end of a Patrick Dolgue cross in the 14th minute of the encounter.
Despite being impressed by the attacking area, he lost ownership, earned 100% of the tackles and made six recoverys.
Alongside Bruno, forward Amado Diallo was also able to catch the eye, completing 93% of the passes he attempted.
Ivorian was also able to register two efforts in the goal, but was fouled twice by visitors, causing constant chaos on the way to claim all three points.
However, despite the aforementioned duo show, another first-team star was able to catch the eye, making him perhaps the most important player in Amorim right now.
Man UTD Star has become the best player in Amorim
Over the past few years, United have splashed cash on a massive scale, trying to return to its former glory after numerous campaigns without any concrete success in any way.
Benjamin Sesco is the newest big man moving to Old Trafford, and was charged £74 million from Bundesliga outfit RB Leipzig during the summer window.
However, he hasn’t scored a single goal as he hasn’t run to the ground yet, but is being traded at halftime by Chelsea after not affecting the procedure.
The Slovenians registered a tally of eight touches in the first 45 minutes and not even registered one effort in the goal, nor was it true that withdrawing from the conflict was justified.
He has already stressed that big money transfers are not equal to success, and has proven that cheap additions like Noussair Mazraoui are worth it, such as all pennies.
Morocco joined the Red Devils on a fee in the £12 million region last summer, but it has surpassed expectations well after travelling from German giant Bayern Munich.
The fullback has once again broken the starting role in recent weeks, showing him one of his best for the club against Maresca’s side last night.
He introduced him for just an hour before being replaced by Matheus Cunha, but his numbers highlight how impressive he was on both ends of the pitch.
Labeled as “exceptional” by one analyst, Mazrawi completed 100% of the dribble he attempted at Old Trafford, often falling into a significant position despite his defensive responsibility.
Of the 26 passes he completed, 12 of them went into the final third of the pitch.

But his most impressive job came without the ball, made four tackles and won 100% of the nine duels he entered – all players on the pitch.
As a result of his show, the 27-year-old received an impressive 8/10 match rating by Manchester World journalist Richfay.
Bruno and Amado’s performances will undoubtedly earn a large portion of praise given their impact on the attacking area, but Mazrawi is definitely more important than the pair.
His ability to control visitors played a key role in shutting down visitors and preventing a comeback after Casemiro’s firing.
