Manchester United next five Premier League fixtures compared to rivals after Chelsea draw

Manchester United continue to lay the groundwork for Ruben Amorim's arrival as Ruud van Nistelrooy oversaw a 1-0 win against Premier League rivals Chelsea.

For all of the excitement that should come before a top-flight clash between these two teams, only one man has been the focus around Man United. But before Amorim is allowed to join from Sporting CP, there are still tasks to complete.

The latest was the visit of Chelsea, and a rather uneventful clash was livened up by Bruno Fernandes' strike from the penalty spot and Moises Caicedo's response, though ultimately both teams will be disappointed the spoils were shared.
