I just think there's a doubt in Bryan Mbeumo's mind whether it's coming in first time, does he just stop at the last minute? He just doubted it when he should keep going.

Its been a good open game so far from both sides.

You'd have to say United are the better side here.

Stamford Bridge is very, very quiet as a result.

Inches away!

Bruno Fernandes looks on it as he receives the ball in the box and squares for Bryan Mbeumo but it's a yard in front of him.

A brilliant pass from Andrey Santos early on. This is a big chance and what a poor touch from Matheus Cunha, really poor.

Bruno Fernandes is lucky to get away without a yellow card after chopping down Josh Acheampong.

Bruno Fernandes could not have wished for a better opportunity than that.

Bryan Mbeumo's pass from the touchline was perfect.

Fernandes controlled and while he was running at pace, a player of his ability should be able to control his shot.

Sadly for Manchester United it was way off target. Michael Carrick talks about fine margins. How important a goal that would have been.

Matheus Cunha's first touch lets him down as he looks to get his shot off but Levi Colwill has great recovery pace to get back in.

There's a bit of pinball in the box and it bounces off the head of Wesley Fofana before Senne Lammens gathers.

A gap opens for Josh Acheampong in the United box and he drives one towards goal but it's blocked behind for another Chelsea corner.

Everything about it is brilliant, the break is fantastic, Bryan Mbeumo does the right thing holding the ball.

It's just Bruno Fernades' final touch that isn't spot on.

Bryan Mbeumo picks out Bruno Fernandes and his first touch isn't the one which we are normally accustomed to. Fernandes has to at the very least hit the target.

Xabi Alonso named Morgan Rogers as one of the players who's got fight and tenacity, when a manager says that he really believes in that players.

United don't look great at the back at all but they just about scramble the free-kick clear and away Bryan Mbeumo goes down the right.

He finds Bruno Fernandes with a great ball but he skies horribly.

Big, big chance.

There are chants of "Steve-o", the nickname of Estevao Willian among the Chelsea faithful at Stamford Bridge.

The young attacker is hugely popular with supporters here, and his omission from Chelsea's line-ups under Xabi Alonso has been a source of criticism for the new manager.

Morgan Rogers almost works his way past the United defence with a flip flap but he wins a corner instead.

The corner comes to nothing but Rogers has won a free-kick this time.

Estevao doesn't need to be offside, we'll get a look at it and there's no need for him to be there. He's just eager to do well, but he's got to hold his line.

He's been lively in these opening minutes.

Decent game this. Both are having a go and that's what we all want to see.

Xabi Alonso has proven in a short period of time that he wants a clear pattern for how he wants his team to play.

I am surprised Danny Welbeck isn't starting. The reason you brought him to the squad is for back-up. I think it is a game which would be well suited to him.
