#4 Red Debutants shouldn't be judged too harshly
There was plenty of schadenfreude floating in the footballing universe when Paul Pogba's header was saved by Navas, followed by Romelu Lukaku missing a gilt-edged chance with the score at 2-0. That's €180 million on the football pitch and they really ought to have done better.
Lukaku managed to redeem himself with a clever finish when faced with Keylor Navas, and the Belgian sparked hopes of Manchester United's revival. However, this was the first time the 24-year-old had ever faced an elite European club's defence, and he did look a bit lost at times.
Nemanja Matic was fantastic though, and was even perhaps the best Red Devil on the pitch, although that bar wasn't set too high. Jose Mourinho has found the perfect base to build his attacking unit around, but it would be wise to remember that Chelsea fans were left frustrated by the drop-off in Matic's performances late in the season.
Victor Lindelof still needs a bit of time to adapt to his teammates, with a few positional mishaps requiring him to make a fair amount of last ditch tackles.
