5 Talking points from Chelsea vs Manchester United

Chelsea v Manchester United - Premier League
Morata wasn't his sharpest in possession against United

3) Raw Rashford?

Chelsea v Manchester United - Premier League
Marcus Rashford showed he is still a long way from the final product

Throughout the course of the season, United may have proven serious league-contenders but, as this game outlined, the Red Devils still have problems going forward. Marcus Rashford is still very much one of the hottest young prospects in world football but he has continuously struggled in terms of his end product in the final third.

It was evidenced in this encounter yet again and the English international also failed to exhibit any dominance in physical situations, where he was easily out-performed by Chelsea's back-line and shot-stopper Thibaut Courtois.

French international Anthony Martial was left out in place of Rashford for this game, despite having scored four goals in the league this term. Martial could've provided United with more width going forward than Rashford did and the latter still has a lot to do to improve his game as a whole.
