Manchester United lost 0-1 to Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, suffering 8 Premier League games without a win (2 draws and 6 losses), and recently lost 3 games in a row. Ruben Amorim's team last won the league on March 17 against the relegated Leicester City coached by Van Nistelrooy! However, because Tottenham lost 0-2 to Aston Villa earlier, the Red Devils still ranked 16th in the Premier League.

Amorim arranged almost all the main players to play in this game, with the only exception being midfielder Ugarte. The 40-year-old Portuguese coach explained that there are 5 days before the Europa League final, and training through competition is the best way to prepare. "We still have five days to prepare for the final, so I am paying attention to this game and think that sometimes the best preparation is to play and compete in the Premier League.

The Red Devils coach said he is not worried about the players getting injured because even training can cause injuries. "The biggest problem we have encountered this season is training, such as Amad (Diallo), who was injured while practicing a simple move. Kobe (Meno) was also seriously injured in training, so you can't predict where the danger is. After this game, we have enough time to recover. But the team needs to be prepared for confrontation, and I pulled them out to practice today.

After the start of the game, both Manchester United and Chelsea created threats through crosses. Bruno Fernandez S's cross from the right was resolved by Reece James and goalkeeper Robert Sanchez. A minute later, the Blues returned the favor, James also made a cross from the right, and Madueke kicked it away with his left foot at the back post.

In the 18th minute, Maguire received a pass from B Fee on the left and scored a goal, but the VAR video assistant referee intervened and determined that his knees and toes were offside, and the goal was invalid. Ironically, this was the only time Manchester United shot on target in the entire first half, but it was disallowed.

The home team Chelsea was not lucky either. James made a wonderful volley outside the penalty area, and the ball hit the outside of the post and bounced out. The subsequent game in the first half entered Hoylend's "performance time", but unfortunately his eye-catching performance had nothing to do with the goal. Data shows that in the last 15 games, the £73 million man has only 3 goals.

Hoylend's arm was first hit by Enzo Fernandez's shot in defense. Referee Chris Kavanagh believed that the distance was too close and it was a "ball hitter", so no penalty was awarded.

In the stoppage time, the 22-year-old Danish center forward took off his opponent's jersey while defending Colwell in the penalty area.

At the beginning of the second half, the referee found that Hojlund had been wearing a smart watch and ordered him to take it off on the sidelines.

Manchester United had two good shooting opportunities at the beginning of the second half, both from Amad's inverted triangle pass after dribbling the ball on the right, but Mason Mount and B Fee failed to shoot on target.

Then, Chelsea youngster Trick George broke into the penalty area and fell to the ground after contact with Onana. The referee immediately pointed to the 12-yard spot, but VAR intervened to confirm that the Manchester United goalkeeper touched the ball first, so the penalty was cancelled.

Five minutes later, Caicedo stretched his foot and immediately retracted it, and Amad fell in the Chelsea penalty area. The referee determined it as a dive and showed him a yellow card.

In the 72nd minute, Chelsea took advantage of the gap between the defenders in Manchester United's three-center-back defense. James easily got rid of substitute Ganacho in front of the penalty area, and then sent a cross, and Cucurella headed the ball at the back post and broke through Andre Onana's ten fingers. The Blues played a wing-back connection and Manchester United fell behind 0-1.

Soon, Chelsea repeated a similar offensive routine. Fortunately, Madueke kicked the ball away again this time, and Manchester United escaped.

Amad's low shot at the near post was saved by Sanchez. This was Manchester United's only recognized shot on target in this game! In the end, the Red Devils were unable to save the defeat and lost 0-1 at Stamford Bridge. Sir Jim Ratcliffe and Sancho, who were watching the game in the stands, witnessed the Red Devils' 18th league defeat of the season.

Another record was broken: the first time since January 1990 that Manchester United has not won 8 league games. This number may continue in the final round against Villa... -12 goal difference, and the 15th league game was shutout. With such a record, even if they win the Europa League final and enter the Champions League, it is absolutely unacceptable.

Manchester United fans on the sidelines still maintain a positive attitude, but they cannot cheer for the performance of the players on the field, so they can only shout "Long live John Terry". As we all know, Terry missed the penalty that could have won the game in the penalty shootout of the 2008 Champions League final, and the Red Devils finally won the cup.

Now, all Manchester United's hopes are pinned on the Europa League final next Wednesday, and Amorim's starting lineup may not be much suspense. Most of the main players in this game will appear in Bilbao. The only exception may be Mount. At the San Mamés Stadium, Ugarte may replace him and partner Casemiro in the midfield, and captain B Fee will return to the No. 10 position.

Mount and Ganacho, who came on as a substitute, may have wasted the last chance to make a name for themselves. Mount didn't seize the chance to score, and Ganacho was directly passed by James after he came on the field. After Chelsea scored the winning goal, B Fee and Maguire both spread their hands to express their dissatisfaction.

The only consolation for Amorim is that no Manchester United player was injured in the red and blue battle. Although B Fee, Amad, Mount and Maguire were suspected of falling to the ground and injured in the game, fortunately, they were all fine in the end.

Amorim said: I feel that all the players are safe and sound and they can participate in the final. Every game will help me choose the starting lineup for the final, so everyone wait and see. No one was injured today. We have to take care of Luke (Shaw) and Mason (Mount), and the other players are fine.
