Who was Man of the Match v Chelsea?

Manchester United made it back-to-back Old Trafford wins in the Premier League with a 2-1 success over Chelsea on Saturday.

Despite both sides being reduced to ten men, goals from Bruno Fernandes and Casemiro ensured another success for Ruben Amorim and his side on home soil.

Throughout a battling performance in the continuous Manchester rain, a whole host of Reds put in valiant displays to make sure it was a winning weekend for those who had turned out to watch on in M16.

Following the full-time whistle, supporters were able to vote for their Man of the Match in the United App and on ManUtd.com and we can now announce the winner.

90 IN 20 | Watch the extended highlights for another viewing of the goals by Fernandes and Casemiro against Chelsea…

Scooping a whopping 52 per cent of the voting was ever-present performer Bruno Fernandes, who opened the scoring at the Theatre of Dreams.

Fernandes was given a standing ovation when replaced by Kobbie Mainoo in the closing stages and his tireless energy never goes unnoticed.

Behind our captain in second place was rock at the back, Matthijs de Ligt, who appeared to be everywhere in what was a standout display.

The Netherlands international stood firm whilst tasked with tricky customer Joao Pedro, keeping the Chelsea man quiet throughout the encounter.

Mata won four huge tackles, completed four clearances, stepped in with two interceptions all whilst boasting an 87 per cent pass accuracy.

Third and by no means without credit, was Bryan Mbeumo, who grabbed 16 per cent of the votes cast on our platforms.

Bruno Fernandes moves past Bryan Robson’s goal tally and pays tribute to the club legend…

Mbeumo was a huge threat that Enzo Maresca’s side seemingly failed to deal with and was involved from the off when fouled by Robert Sanchez.

His tireless running helped push the Reds up the pitch throughout and the Cameroon international often helped lead United’s press from the front.

But the award goes to Fernandes this time, who also chalked up his 100th goal for the club when opening the scoring, on his 200th appearance in Red.

Congratulations, Bruno!
