Ruben Amorim, Manchester United’s soon-to-be manager, observed from a distance as his future team played out a 1-1 draw against Chelsea.
While the result may have been disappointing, Amorim could take some solace in United’s improved defensive organization.
The Red Devils displayed greater solidity at the back, with standout performances from Matthijs de Ligt and Noussair Mazraoui.
However, Amorim might be concerned about the team’s ongoing struggles in attack, particularly Alejandro Garnacho’s lack of composure in front of goal.
Garnacho missed several clear-cut chances, highlighting United’s broader issues in converting opportunities.
Bruno Fernandes’ penalty was the only goal United managed to secure, emphasizing their attacking challenges.
Meanwhile, Chelsea’s Moises Caicedo delivered an outstanding performance. The midfielder, who faced criticism last season, has flourished under Enzo Maresca’s guidance and was instrumental in the match.
Caicedo scored a stunning volley to give Chelsea the lead, showcasing his growing confidence and form.
Maresca praised Caicedo, stating, “Moi is performing fantastically. He’s proving just how good he is.”
Caicedo’s resurgence has been a major positive for Chelsea, and he will aim to maintain his impressive form in the upcoming fixtures.
