Manchester United and Chelsea got stuck at Old Trafford (0-0), a scene that saw the debut as a ‘net’ of Uruguayan Edinson Cavani, who played the last half hour of the clash on the sixth day of the Premier.
The entry to the pitch of the South American striker, who has played for Paris Saint Germain in the last seven seasons and who reinforced Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s team in the past market, did not end up solving the inoperative attack of the locals, they fall in the rankings led by Everton.
Cavani, 33, took the field in the 58th minute in the place of Daniel James, at the same time that Frenchman Paul Pogba took the place of Spanish Juan Mata. It was the first decision that Soljskaer made in the absence of a goal in a thick duel, without great chances and with two teams more eager not to lose than to add three points.
United did not profit from their dominance. Marcus Rashford was the main threat to goalkeeper Edouard Mendy, who has snatched the position from Spaniard Kepa Arrizabalaga, condemned for his mistakes and out of the squad due to a shoulder injury.
Chelsea, who drew last Tuesday against Sevilla, did not question David De Gea’s firmness either. He found no arguments for the disbursement by the Germans Timo Werner and Kai Havertz, who formed the visiting attack together with the American Christian Pulisic. All three were substituted in the final stretch. It was not a solution for Frank Lampard’s team, which has accumulated two games in a row without success.
The tie is insufficient for the aspirations of both. Chelsea are increasingly distancing themselves from a leadership they intend and Manchester United is part of the lower zone of the classification, distant from the European zone of the Premier.
