We asked for your thoughts after Saturday's Premier League game between Man Utd and Chelsea.
Here are some of your comments:
United fans
Rateesh: Manchester United can't catch a break from all these criticisms - win or lose. Today, the players worked hard and fought for the team until the very end. No one seems to care about it or even mention it.
Ron: Ruben Amorim is showing dedication to the monumental task of turning Man Utd in the right direction while in the unforgiving spotlight of the Premier League. Casemiro very naive for such an experienced player.
Steve; Only a week ago, I was Amorim out but after this win and seeing we are three points off second - what a difference a result makes. This doesn't paper over the fact that we still made silly mistakes but no-one can question the commitment to the cause of the players and that surely can only produce more positive results in the next games. Matthijs de Ligt by the way is a monster of a player and very underrated. Excellent again.
Andrew: The conditions made this match a bit of a farce. It wasn't helped by some questionable refereeing either. That aside, what about United's performance? Yet again, they blew hot and cold. The system clearly doesn't work and this match with early dismissals and enforced changes didn't give any indication of progress. Defensively they did OK but the manager consistently changes the back four and the midfield is too easy to play through. This team, under this manager and with this system, is going nowhere. If you want a fairer comparison, then look at Tottenham under Thomas Frank.
Chelsea fans
David: Another costly error from Robert Sanchez and then very poor substitutions by Enzo Maresca. If he knew Cole Palmer was not fully fit why not take him off first at least we would have had an attack. Lincoln City must fancy their chances.
Chris: If you can't beat a hapless team like Man Utd, you know you are in big trouble. Once again, Sanchez left us in the lurch and then Maresca sacrifices probably our most creative player in Estevao Willian because of the red card! The whole defence were a shambles for the first 20 minutes and didn't get much better. Reece James is a shadow of the player he used to be and all in all Chelsea are in a bad place at present with a manager that doesn't seem to have a clue when the chips are down!
Timo: Bizarre decisions everywhere. A goalkeeper problem compounded by a manager's panicky reaction. The lack of authority and maturity was laid bare. Too much method - insufficient savvy.
Nevlar: Garbage. Pedestrian and lacking in any creativity except with a touch of desperation before the end. United there for the taking and we had no clue.
