Moisés Caicedo’s stunner secures draw for Chelsea at Manchester United
It has come to feel like a collector’s item – a Manchester United goal in the Premier League. And so when it came, Bruno Fernandes converting from the penalty spot on 70 minutes, the celebrations were suitably wild. Especially from Ruud van Nistelrooy, the United interim manager, who is keeping the dug-out warm for Rúben Amorim, who will take over next Monday.
Van Nistelrooy pumped his fists, he ran down the line, he jumped up and punched the air. It was a release of emotion because there had been so many frustrations in terms of the United performance. It was only the team’s ninth goal of the league season – in their tenth game. Remarkable levels of profligacy has been one of the themes of their season; one of the many drivers in the demise of Erik ten Hag.
