Overview

• Robert Sánchez was sent off inside five minutes for denying a Bryan Mbeumo chance, prompting Enzo Maresca to bring on Filip Jörgensen and Tosin Adarabioyo for two withdrawn wingers.
• Bruno Fernandes put United ahead before Casemiro headed a second, then the Brazilian collected a second yellow in first-half stoppage time.
• Trevoh Chalobah made it 2-1 with an 80th-minute header from a Reece James cross, but United closed out the result in torrential rain.
• United had kicked off in 17th place and finished with a result widely described as a benchmark for Amorim’s project.
• Chelsea’s display and substitutions drew sharp criticism in coverage after a difficult week that already included defeats to Brentford and Bayern Munich.
