Manchester United discusses the Europa League final after a disappointing defeat against Chelsea.
The Red Devils will travel to Bilbao next week to hire colleague Premier League roarers Tottenham in the final of the secondary tournament of Europe.
But fans looking forward to the game were brought back to the earth thanks to a 1-0 defeat for the troops of the Enzo Maresca.
A 71st minute strike from Marc Cucurella sentenced United to their eighteenth defeat of the season.
And then King van Sunsport is present to assess the respective displays of the troops of Ruben Amorim at the bridge and Slate Ruben Amorim.
Andre Onana – 6/10
Restored to the team after he was free to against West Ham, he dissatisfied his manager with some of his kicking and approval choices.
Hardly had a salvation until he kept Cole Palmer's efforts out in the first half. Had a fine granted against him rightly destroyed by VAR.
Victor Lindelof – 5
Usually what it said on the can, stable while he goes. Looked quite comfortable in the first half, with the help of Mazraoui and even Amad to help him keep Noni Madueke still after an early fear.
Also had a simple second half, until it undoed by Reece James' brilliant cross for the goal. Booked for late error on Cucurella.
Harry Maguire – 7
Solid from the start and the best player of United in general. Taken an forearm to Tyrique George's head, but picked himself up and thought he had given United the leadership, only to be ruled out ofside.
Calm and strong in the heart of a united defense that had not been worried by Chelsea for that long.
Luke Shaw – 6
The Dorgu attacker meant that he did not know if he should get stuck or turned at times when he was in the minority.
But used himself well and also played a number of decent balls from the defense when needed. Is nothing wrong or wrong all night, which summarized the general display of United.
Noussair Mazraoui – 4
Made a shaky start and let Madueke get the wrong side of him, only for the Chelsea wing player to miss the target terribly.
Not convincing after the break, picking up a booking and then losing Cucurellta for the goal. Madueke should have made two after walking between the Moroccan and Lindelof.
Bruno Fernandes – 6
Seemed to take control of the game, especially when Maguire hit his beautiful cross for what the opening goal seemed to be.
All-Action First half display, but that also meant that he was booked for a sequel to Moises Caicedo.
Can't touch the goal with the second half and did not exert the same influence before he went off.
Casemiro – 6
Sometimes you forgot that he was on the field, but he did a quiet effective work to give Fernandes and his team a platform in the game.
Made a very important intervention in the first half in his own box, but took a booking at the start of the second after being surpassed by Palmer. In a considerable shift.
Patrick Dorgu – 5
Started high and wide, and looked more convincing in the future, a decent opening for the mountain up.
Filed a few times by Pedro Neto, but has also made a number of important challenges. Less adventurous in the second half when Amad the threat on the opposite flank performed.
Not in default to the goal
Amad Diallo – 6
Sharp at the beginning, but soon disappeared completely as an attacking force in the first half.
Himself a little relieved by doing some decent work in his own last third part.
Much better after the break, setting up a good chance of mount. Booked for diving in the box and then penetrated a save from Robert Sanchez.
Mason Mount – 4
How much he would have liked to have solved the Chelsea Boo-Boys who have hunted every touch and spotted him all night.
How extensive he did not do this.
Poor misunderstood shots in both half when they get a considerable opportunity from Dorgu and Amad. Hooked with 20 minutes to go to the loudest choir of angry.
Rasmus Hojlund – 3
If he wasn't such a unity, you would call him a little boy lost. But all that power seems to disappear when the ball comes close to the wrestling Dane.
Got absolutely no change from the Chelsea defense and often gave possession away.
Even with Josh Zirkzee injured, there must be a better option for the final.
Subs
Manuel Ugarte (for Casemiro, 70) – 4
Made little impression on the game even though he had 20 minutes to show what he could do. Late Chelsea Sub Romeo Lavia made life for him.
Alejandro Garancho (for Mount, 70) – 4
It can feel hard, but it was the Argentinian who allowed James to squeeze away from him and then deliver the murderous ball for Cucurella. Very deep to try to exchange themselves, but it didn't help.
Ayden Heaven (for Shaw, 81) – 3
Fortunately to escape a booking for an error on Palmer and then only to be shown a yellow for an annoying failure on Malo -Gusto.
Kobbie Mainoo (for Fernandes, 81) – 4
Looked at the pace. What happened to the great defensive midfield hope of England?
Unused
Bayindir, Eriksen, Amass, Collyer, Fredricson
