Harry Maguire 7, Marcus Rashford 6; Thiago Silva 8, Timo Werner 5: Manchester United v Chelsea player ratings

Few chances for either side in Old Trafford stalemate

David de Gea - 6. A star in the win over Paris Saint-Germain, a squib at Old Trafford. Clean sheet will be appreciated – his first at Old Trafford in six league games. AFP

Aaron Wan-Bissaka - 6. Fine defending. Threw himself to ground with a late attack. EPA

Victor Lindelof - 7. Another positive game for the defender who had the better of Timo Werner and pushed forward as United went for a winner. United’s best player. AFP

Harry Maguire - 7. Back after missing PSG and to continue his run of every Premier League game since he joined United. Fortunate not to have a penalty awarded against him. Otherwise fine. EPA

Luke Shaw - 6. Got forward more as game went on. Blocked Reece James effectively. AFP

Fred - 6. 50th Premier League game in the Mancunian rain was not what it was in the Parisian equivalent. Still, solid and stable. Key late interception. Reuters

Scott McTominay - 6. Solid and unspectacular, but works well alongside Fred and United’s midfield far harder to pass through than against Spurs. EPA

Daniel James - 4. Ran onto balls in dangerous positions – and then ran into opponents without ever troubling them. Better coming back to defend, but didn’t offer enough for a United attacker. EPA

Bruno Fernandes - 6. Bought as a game changer, but limited against Chelsea’s defensive wall as United have failed to win in their first three home games for first time in 48 years. His late overhead kick as wishful as the aspirations of either team to win. AFP

Juan Mata - 6. Accurate shot five minutes before half time and one of the better players in the first half but he shook his head as he was substituted. There were worse players, but Mata’s been good this season and this was his least effective game. AFP

Marcus Rashford - 6. Best chance of first half, but struck ball at Mendy when there was space to his right. United generally offered little up front. Booked in frustration after losing ball. Super late shot brought a fine save. AFP

SUB: Paul Pogba (Mata 51') - 6: Went into Fernandes’ position. Some beautiful ball control and effective tackles. Reuters

SUB: Edinson Cavani (James 51') - 5: Almost scored with his first touch. Bright runs across defenders, but his crosses didn’t find their range. EPA

SUB: Mason Greenwood (McTominay 81') - N/A: A lively cameo as United pushed for a goal late on. AFP

Edouard Mendy - 7, Just about avoided severe embarrassment after a poor pass attempt nearly went in his own net but made some great saves to redeem himself. EPA

Cesar Azpilicueta - 8, This role on the right of a back three suits the Spaniard well, and he looked solid defensively throughout. Reuters

Thiago Silva - 8, Was comfortable at the centre of Chelsea’s backline and pulled off a block towards the end that ensured they kept a clean sheet. Reuters

Kurt Zouma - 7, Like his fellow centre-backs, the Frenchman rarely looked troubled in the slightest by Manchester United’s largely tame front line. EPA

Reece James - 8, Put in a great performance down the right, showing quality in both his attacking and defensive play. AFP

Jorginho - 6, He looked good with the ball but didn’t manage to turn that into anything truly productive. Reuters

N’Golo Kante - 7, One of the more alert players in this game, who kept the ball ticking over well and at least made an effort to get Chelsea going up the pitch. AFP

Ben Chilwell - 7, He was pretty quiet in an attacking sense, but the England international was another man in blue who looked confident defensively. Reuters

Christian Pulisic - 6, One of Chelsea’s more threatening players in the game, but that doesn’t say a lot. AFP

Kai Havertz - 5, Struggled to impact the game in a very meaningful way – he needs to do much more if he is to justify his fee. Reuters

Timo Werner - 5, Worked hard and made himself available for his teammates but didn’t threaten United’s defence much at all. AFP

SUB Tammy Abraham (Werner 72’) – N/R, Just continued the trend of Chelsea attackers failing to make much of an impact. Reuters

SUB Mason Mount (Havertz 72’) – N/R, Added a bit of extra energy for the Blues, but didn’t threaten the United backline much. EPA

SUB Hakim Ziyech (Pulisic 81’) – N/R, Failed to show the sort of quality he was renowned for at Ajax - he’ll surely get better as he continues his return from injury. AFP
