Sky Go / NOW TV Chelsea play host to Manchester United at Stamford Bridge in London, England. — ET 12.30 p.m. It kicks off at 5.30 p.m.
Manchester unbeaten in last five games, Chelsea have not lost since Potter arrived last month.
Christian Eriksen will be benched. In defensive midfield, Ten Hag will look to Casemiro, who has brought stability to the team since signing from Real Madrid and Fred. Ten Hag, who has been in charge of Manchester United since the start of the season, lost his first game at home to a Brighton team then managed by Potter. A loss to Chelsea will undoubtedly heap pressure on Ten Hag, who, despite impressive wins against Tottenham, Arsenal and Liverpool, has overseen a 4-0 drubbing by Brentford and a string of lacklustre performances in the Europa League. Manchester United head to Chelsea on Saturday afternoon for what promises to be a key game for a top-four finish. Preview: Chelsea take on Manchester United in the Premier League

He added: “I am here to manage (the situation). The second time has consequences. I am responsible for the top culture here. Things get better and then you just move forward.” “You have to at least acknowledge the fact they’re human beings who want to be involved in that type of competition absolutely. He was on the (training) pitch, but he's not available for (the Chelsea game). So that’s the latest. But apart from the long-term absences, we’re pretty much as we were.” So I'm happy with that process.” The result moves Forest off the bottom of the table and above Leicester City.

Chelsea welcome Manchester United to Stamford Bridge with both teams hoping to close the gap on Premier League leaders Arsenal.
But the Italian international then made up for it by converting a penalty in a 1-1 draw. Ten Hag has opted not to include him in his squad for today's match after the Portuguese refused to come on as a late substitute in the 2-0 win over Tottenham last time out. 43rd min: Chelsea break at pace and Sterling plays in Aubameyang but Diogo Dalot slides in to put the Gabon international off and the ball goes beyond both of them. 34th min: Rashford runs at Silva but instead of beating him for pace in the box he takes the shot early and it's well saved by Kepa. Our focus is totally on this game, the players are prepared and will work to get a result," says Ten Hag. 13th min: Kepa makes the first save of the match. In the build up, Varane looks to have stretched a bit too far when trying to stop Aubameyang and he looks to be coming off. He jumps highest in the box and Kepa gets a hand to his looping header but tips it onto the post and the ball comes back down, crossing the goal line by a few centimetres! 45th min: Antony makes a mess of a big chance down the other end. 57th min: A ball is played into Sterling at the back post but he can't connect with the ball properly and fluffs his lines. McTominay is all over Broja and brings him to the floor. Chelsea came out firing in the second half after Graham Potter tinkered with his formation before the break in bringing on Mateo Kovacic.
Manchester United have received no interest in Cristiano Ronaldo despite making him available on a free transfer since the summer, sources have told ESPN.
Sources have said that there is a hope within Old Trafford that clubs could emerge as potential options for Ronaldo if he enjoys a productive World Cup with Portugal in Qatar next month. [Manchester United](/soccer/team?id=360) have received no interest in [Cristiano Ronaldo](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/22774/Cristiano-Ronaldo) despite making him available on a free transfer since the summer, sources have told ESPN.

An exciting finish saw a penalty stroked home by Jorginho before Casemiro headed in to share the points.
United sit a point behind Saturday’s opponents and also head into the clash in fine fettle, despite the recent drama surrounding Cristiano Ronaldo (more on him later) and the derby thrashing by City at the start of the month. After conceding a goal in each of Potter’s first two games against Salzburg and Crystal Palace, the Blues haven’t let any in in their last five. That said, why watch when you can stay here and allow me to bring the game to life with some carefully chosen words? We're about 10 minutes away from kick-off and the noise in the stadium is building very close to what we'd expect. Chelsea manage to get their collective feet on the ball for more than a couple of seconds and move into the United half. Ten Hag revealed that the Portuguese star refused to come on as a late substitute in Wednesday’s victory over Spurs, going up the tunnel before the full-time whistle. Not long after and Cucurella is flying in to a United player. He certainly gets hold of it and it flies just wide of the far post. It's been a good opening to the second half from the Blues. Shaw crosses in deep and the Brazilian rises to put a firm header back across goal. Back and forth goes possession, neither side looking to hold onto the ball for too long. The result keeps Chelsea in fourth place, a point ahead of United.
The club has been open to letting Ronaldo leave on a free transfer since this past summer, but they haven't received any sort of interest that has allowed a ...
Sources have said that United, who signed Ronaldo in a €15 million deal from Juventus in August 2021, have not sought a fee for the player in the hope that another club would be prepared to take on his £500,000-a-week contract. “Sources have told ESPN that the United hierarchy, led by American owners the Glazer family, have been willing to offload Ronaldo since he made it clear in the summer that he wanted to leave the club. And it looks like the club will do whatever it takes to get rid of Ronaldo.
Casemiro scored his first goal for Manchester United with a dramatic headed equaliser four minutes into stoppage time against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.

Last season, and repeatedly since Sir Alex Ferguson retired in 2013, United have been a soft touch on the pitch with opponents too often winning the physical battle over the 90 minutes. McTominay had foolishly wrestled Broja to the ground in front of referee Stuart Attwell, leaving the official with no option but to award a penalty.

Cristiano Ronaldo dropped by Erik ten Hag for their trip to Chelsea after refusing to come on as a late substitute against Tottenham before leaving early; ...
"They beat Spurs the other night and thought they'd won the European Cup. They got hammered against Man City [without him], they lost to Brighton, they lost to Brentford, they've drawn today and celebrated like they've won the league. "He has to take his punishment. Can he get back into the team before the World Cup? "Everyone was saying after the Spurs game it was Manchester United's best performance in years. "They asked the manager in the press conference about Ronaldo refusing to come on but they should have asked him when was he going to put him on? Cristiano is too good a player, too fantastic a character and the club have got to move on. "I'm going to try and defend him. 'I count on him') and that he "counts" on him for the rest of the season, but Sky Sports pundit Neville believes the 37-year-old should leave. Let’s focus on this game, it was a good game for my team and I have to compliment my team. That has been brewing over the last few weeks," said Keane. Because this has to end," said Neville.
Gary Neville has delivered his verdict on Cristiano Ronaldo's refusal to step off the bench during Man United's 2-0 win over Tottenham Hotspur.
Manager [Erik ten Hag](https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/all-about/erik-ten-hag) chose to take disciplinary action against the forward, leaving him out of the squad for Saturday's teatime trip to Stamford Bridge to face Chelsea. "When you look at whether Cristiano should be selected, Manchester United are better without him - and Erik ten Hag knows that. I have to say, as someone in the dressing room, it's something that's unacceptable. He also conceded that United are 'better' when the 37-year-old is not playing. He has started just twice in the Premier League so far this season, highlighting that he has been out-of-favour under Ten Hag. [Ronaldo](https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/all-about/cristiano-ronaldo), who was dropped to the bench for the visit of Spurs, refused to come on as a substitute late on in the contest, instead choosing to get up off the bench, walk back down the tunnel and head for home.
Erik ten Hag's Manchester United have 'expressed interest in MLS starlet Jhon Duran, joining Liverpool in the race for the £10 million-rated forward's ...
Jhon Duran picked up five goals and eight assists in the MLS last season for Chicago Fire The 18-year-old picked up eight goals and five assists in 27 games last season, and is believed to have attracted interest from around Europe. - Jhon Duran picked up five goals and eight assists in the MLS last season
Man Utd want MLS star Jhon Duran, Real Madrid are keen on Diogo Dalot, Barcelona weigh up Ruben Neves, and Kylian Mbappe is unhappy at PSG.
It already appears that he wants influence outside the scope of any player who has come before him, and if his reaction is to leave the club in January, then it might help PSG start to build a much more professional setup after years of unnecessary drama. Barcelona are not quite good enough in Europe and adding some energy and sophistication to the middle of their squad would help them get to where Xavi Hernandez wants. He has a year longer on his deal but there is a chance they could strike a deal for an initial loan before a £40m transfer goes through in the summer.
Manchester United issue a statement after a homophobic chant was heard coming from some away fans on Saturday.
Also on show at Old Trafford next Sunday will be the ever-present Rainbow Devils banner promoting our LGBTQ+ supporters’ club. This includes working with fan groups to educate fans on the offence which discriminatory language causes.” Manchester United is proud of our diverse fan base and the work we have done to reduce instances like we sadly heard at Stamford Bridge.
The Brazilian midfielder was once again in superb for as Erik ten Hag's side rescued a late point at Stamford Bridge.
Registering 68 touches and 10 ball recoveries, it is hard not to see why United were so keen on bringing in the midfielder to help fill a clear missing piece of their puzzle earlier this year. Casemiro is quite scary,'' he wrote on social media, following yesterday's draw in the capital. Gary Lineker was quick to back up the recent praise, insisting he himself is already impressed with what he has seen from the five-time Champions League winner.
Manchester United legends Roy Keane and Cristiano Ronaldo clash over Erik ten Hag's handling of the Cristiano Ronaldo issue at Old Trafford.
When Neville suggested that few Manchester United fans would want to see Ronaldo in the starting line-up, Keane gave a curt response. He’s going to have to leave, that’s it, that’s all it is." The former United captain went on to suggest that Ronaldo will have to leave the club. The legendary midfielder said: "There are players at Man United who have done a lot worse than what he's done." He goes to Everton a week later, comes on, scores a goal. He said: "I couldn't care less what fans think. He went on, explaining what he sees Ronaldo contributing to the team: "They played Man City a few weeks ago and it could've been 16 [goals they conceded]. The manager says, 'I'm not bringing him on' because he didn’t want to disrespect Ronaldo. Neville continued: "End it this week or create a truce to get to the World Cup. if you’re doing things like that you've got to leave." He said: "For me, [he] had no choice, no option... Neville began the debate by backing ten Hag's decision.

Erik ten Hag delivers the latest news on Rapha after he went off at Stamford Bridge.
Ten Hag told reporters after the game: "It is difficult to say how it is now because it is so soon after the game. Of course he is experienced, but [the] medical [staff] have to do their job, have to make the assessment and set the right diagnosis, and then from there on can come a conclusion.” While Varane was able to walk off the pitch with the club physio and doctor, he was crying as he did so signifying the potential severity of the injury.
Manchester United defender Raphael Varane could potentially miss out on the World Cup after suffering a hamstring injury in the 1-1 draw at Chelsea.
That will always bring you to the right position. "We have to live with that and I'm happy with that as well." "It's more important to have the right culture and the right standards for us to live by.

“It’s not fair to him to be remembered for this situation. “Cristiano Ronaldo is going to have to go somewhere else and play every week because he can’t accept being on the bench,” Neville told Sky Sports. “The only thing that Cristiano and the club can do is get together in the next week and end the relationship.”
Manchester United have made strides forward under Erik Ten Hag, but are still missing the right striker for the Dutchman's approach.
Ten Hag’s Manchester United are still a work-in-progress, but the Dutch coach is starting to find some solutions in certain areas of the pitch. United are starting to play like a Ten Hag team. It’s clear Manchester United need a new centre forward to take the next step under their new manager. For all the dominance United enjoyed, for all the opportunities they created, they failed to make that count on the scoreboard. Sancho could still contribute more, but Ten Hag appears to have a greater understanding of the England international’s qualities than Ole Gunnar Solskjaer or Ralf Rangnick ever did. At last, the Old Trafford club appears to have turned a corner.
