Manchester United
David De Gea - 7/10
United's shot-stopper made a couple of important saves that kept his team in the game. The save to deny Alonso in the second half particularly stood out due to its prominence but he had no chance against Hazard from the spot.
Antonio Valencia - 5/10
Valencia struggled inside the final-third and it was unusual of him to constantly lose possession whenever United required composure to build from the back. Booked!
Chris Smalling - 6/10
Smalling won almost all of his aerial duels and looked comfortable at the heart of United's defence. However, he was handed no favours whatsoever by his partner at center half.
Phil Jones - 4/10
Silly error that led to a poor challenge which ended up being a penalty and Jones looked like a laughing stock yet again. Poor decision making from him subsequently provided Chelsea with the opening. Booked!
Ashley Young - 6/10
Young worked tirelessly down the flanks for United by running up and down whenever required. He provided the all important impetus to his side in the second half but would've certainly wanted to produce better crosses.
Ander Herrera - 6/10
The Spaniard had to shift roles on numerous occasions during the game and he even slotted into the back three at a certain point. Herrera man-marked Hazard for the majority of the game and did a commendable job.
Nemanja Matic - 7/10
Matic was one of United's best performers on the night and he produced a sublime shift in midfield for the Red Devils. The Serbian was too tough to handle for Fabregas down the middle of the park.
Paul Pogba - 6/10
A strange performance from the Frenchman who seemed to have the required intent but he failed to initiate a come-back and it almost seemed like Pogba was a touch too slow to try and make a difference.
Jesse Lingard - 6/10
Lingard would've enjoyed more involvement with the ball but he was handled effectively by the sheer brilliance of Kante in midfield. However, his influence started growing in the second half but he was soon replaced by Martial.
Marcus Rashford - 5/10
Rashford looked extremely devoid of confidence against Chelsea and he struggled from the beginning, missing out on chances and his set-piece delivery was also below par on the night.
Alexis Sanchez - 5/10
The Chilean also failed to make an impact on the game for United. Sanchez struggled without the ball and remained busy throughout without being brilliant enough.
Substitutes
Romelu Lukaku - 6/10
Lukaku offered something different when he came on and his introduction only proved how dearly United missed him up until that point.
Anthony Martial - 6/10
Martial replaced Jesse Lingard in the 73rd minute and looked lively as he upped the tempo further. The Frenchman clearly has a point to prove and he made it evident.
Juan Mata - N/A
Came on for Phil Jones in the 87th minute.
