Ruud van Nistelrooy on his future with new manager Ruben Amorim: "Over the coming days we will be in communication and I am waiting for that. What is more important is that we are in training tomorrow and prepare for the game on Thursday. I haven’t spoken to him [Amorim] yet but it will happen.
“You saw today that we competed well against a very good side. This is the way forward for this group of players."
Garnacho needs to work on his finishingpublished at 19:37 3 November

Alejandro Garnacho is Manchester United's highest goalscorer this season with six.
But it should be many more.
The Argentina wide-man had at least four clear cut chances against Chelsea - and wasted the lot.
There are echoes of Cristiano Ronaldo's early days at Old Trafford before something clicked in the summer of 2006 and he returned more focused and started finding the net on a regular basis.
I am not expecting Garnacho to get close to Ronaldo in terms of overall output but he can do better - and he needs to.
At the moment, he is one of the reasons why United are struggling to score.
'It's an emotional rollercoaster'published at 19:24 3 November

Manchester United interim boss Ruud van Nistelrooy spoke to BBC Sport after today's draw: "Overall it was a very good performance. The players did really well and fought in every inch of the pitch. It was very good to watch that bit.
"The chances we created, we could have scored one more to win the game. It was a shame we couldn't. Overall I'm slightly disappointed we didn't win.
On his job: "It's an emotional rollercoaster - it's been almost a full week where so many things happened. My job was to steady the ship. The players reacted very well, something to build on in the next two games.
"I came here to help the club in any capacity. After these two games that will continue and hopefully it can work out.
"It's special to be back in the city and at the club. I really enjoy every single minute of it.
"I try to share the culture of the club, the culture of the town and the fans. That's an important part. I'm glad I can share these moments and help the players understand the spirit.
"I saw the spirit on the pitch on Wednesday and today. That's the foundation to grow."
'Disappointment in the dressing room'published at 19:05 3 November

Man Utd captain Bruno Fernandes has been speaking to BBC Sport after today's draw: "Everyone knows how much I wanted the goal to come. I need to help the team with goals and assists. It's been one of the most disappointing things this season - but I got some in the cup. Now scoring in the Premier League.
"It was a lot of disappointment in the dressing room. We could have won the game."
On what has changed after Ten Hag: "Not much has changed. In midweek the goals went in. I said to some friends everything will come to us and people will say we wanted the manager to be sacked. We get the point and we can be happy for that. We need to be disappointed because we're far back in the league."
On Ruud van Nistelrooy: "Ruud is a nice guy, humble for someone who won everything at the club."
On incoming boss Ruben Amorim: "I am a big fan of Sporting and watch a lot of their games. Ruben Amorim brought the excitement back to the club - it was a little bit split when he came [to Sporting]. He transformed everything and brought everyone together."
Manchester United 1-1 Chelsea: Key statspublished at 18:43 3 November
18:43 3 November
Eight of the last 13 meetings between Manchester United and Chelsea in the Premier League have ended level. This is also the fixture with the most total draws in the competition’s history (27).
None of the last five managers taking charge of their first Premier League away game at Old Trafford have lost (W2 D3 – Iraola, Postecoglou, Kompany, Slot and Maresca); the longest run in the competition’s history.

Sutton's predictions: Man Utd v Chelseapublished at 11:03 3 November

Chris Sutton is making predictions for all 380 Premier League matches this season, against a variety of guests.
For week 10, he takes on The Piano TV series winner Brad Kella.
Sutton's prediction: 1-1
Ruud van Nistelrooy is in charge of Manchester United as interim boss and he enjoyed himself against Leicester City in the Carabao Cup in midweek.
The Chelsea players will be well-rested because their team that lost to Newcastle United in the same competition on Wednesday was totally different to the side that beat the Magpies in the league on Sunday.
But Newcastle did create chances against them last weekend and, when I saw Chelsea against Liverpool recently, they were brave at Anfield too.
I see Chelsea as being the superior team here and my head tells me they will win. But, if they are quite open again at Old Trafford, then that could suit Manchester United and let them get something.
Brad's prediction: 0-3
Chelsea have got this and I'm going for a Cole Palmer hat-trick. What a mistake it was by Pep Guardiola to sell him because he is just unbelievable.

Man Utd v Chelsea: Fan questionspublished at 12:31 2 November

After a turbulent week, there will be a lot of unknowns when Manchester United and Chelsea face off in the Premier League at Old Trafford on Sunday.
While they go head-to-head on the pitch, we have asked our fan writers for each club to go head-to-head off it.
Each fan got to ask three questions to each other before the big game...
A 'step into the unknown' but 'Chelsea will be favourites'published at 12:30 2 November

Dale O'Donnell Fan writer
Here is what our Manchester United fan writer Dale O'Donnell had to say in response to questions from our Chelsea contributor Ross Mooring.
How much of a bounce are you expecting following Erik ten Hag's departure?
Ruud van Nistelrooy's Reds showed fight and attacking flair on Wednesday against a weakened Leicester City side.
People talk about a new manager bounce, but this is a step into the unknown, although the initial signs were good. Chelsea will be favourites at Old Trafford.
Other than Cole Palmer, which current Chelsea player would you most want to sign?
There is nobody outside of Palmer. Not after Mason Mount. Erik ten Hag brought him to Old Trafford for a sizeable fee and we are still none the wiser about his best role in the team.
Who in a red shirt is most likely to make a big difference on Sunday?
Alejandro Garnacho is United's biggest threat in attack and he is a player that can hurt any side in the Premier League.
He has seven goal contributions this season and will be looking to add to that on Sunday.

Ross Mooring Fan writer
Here is what our Chelsea fan writer Ross Mooring had to say in response to questions from our Manchester United contributor Dale O'Donnell.
Do you think Enzo Maresca needs to do extra homework on Manchester United now Erik ten Hag has been sacked?
While I am sure Maresca will be looking at the win over Leicester and Ruud van Nistelrooy's past games as manager, the Italian is still very much bedding in his own style of play at the club.
He also has to be concerned that the Blues have only kept four clean sheets so far this season and none in the past seven games, in spite of some relatively easy fixtures in Europe and the league.
What are your thoughts on Jadon Sancho at Chelsea?
Sancho has started brightly in a Chelsea shirt, assisting in his first three games and offering something on the left flank that none of the other options at the club do.
However, he was subbed off at half time of the defeat at Liverpool and has not featured since, partly due to illness. Not being allowed to play against his parent club regardless, I would expect Pedro Neto will start on the left wing with Mykhailo Mudryk the alternate option.
What are Chelsea's biggest strengths going into the game at Old Trafford?
It might seem too easy to simply say "Cole Palmer" but it is the truth. Since the moment he signed on deadline day last year, Palmer has played in the manner of club legends Eden Hazard and Gianfranco Zola and he scored more goals last season than either ever achieved in a blue shirt to boot.
While both Moises Caicedo and Nicolas Jackson have added composure to their games this season and Englishmen Noni Madueke and Levi Colwill have improved too, it is Palmer who will constantly be occupying two or three Manchester United players at a time on Sunday.
