Manchester United entertained Chelsea at Old Trafford earlier tonight as they looked to secure a good result at home. The Red Devils made a decent start to the game and got their noses ahead in the 19th minute when Scott McTominay found the back of the net. However, Cole Palmer equalised in the latter stages of the first half as both sides went into the half-time break with a 1-1 scoreline.
McTominay scored again for Man United in the 69th minute as Erik ten Hag’s men ended up earning a narrow 2-1 win in front of their home fans.
