A Manchester United team in flux is out to seal successive wins for just the second time this season when Chelsea visits Old Trafford.
Ruud van Nistelrooy will aim to extend his perfect start as Manchester United’s interim coach when the Red Devils host Chelsea in the latest leg of their revolution on Sunday. The former United striker led his team to a resounding win over Leicester City in his dugout debut a little more than 48 hours after it was announced Erik ten Hag’s two-and-a-half-year stay at Old Trafford had ended. Chelsea travel to Manchester seven months after completing the most dramatic of injury-time comebacks when these teams last duked it out in April, when Cole Palmer dashed United’s spirits with a heroic hat-trick.
