Manchester United host Chelsea in today’s late Premier League kick off with interim manager Ruud van Nistelrooy still in charge despite the club hiring a new permanent manager in Ruben Amorim.
Amorim will take over at Old Trafford on November 11 as the full-time replacement for Erik ten Hag with Van Nistelrooy holding the reins until then. The Dutchman is keen to remain on the backroom staff when Amorim takes up his post and leading United to victory over Chelsea, backing up a 5-2 win over Leicester in the Carabao Cup, will do his credentials no harm.
Chelsea will be difficult opponents to beat though. Manager Enzo Maresca has high hopes this season and will be targeting the Champions League spots even though he has admitted the Chelsea higher-ups have not made that a goal this year. Chelsea defeated Newcastle in the league last Sunday and wil be confident of ending an 11-match winless run at United.

Match facts
Manchester United are unbeaten in their last 11 home league games against Chelsea (won five, drew six), and are looking to win three in a row against the Blues at Old Trafford for the first time since January 1957.
Manchester United vs Chelsea is the most drawn fixture in Premier League history, with 26 of the 64 meetings between the sides finishing level.
Manchester United have picked up just 11 points after nine Premier League matches this season (W3 D2 L4), their second-fewest after nine games ahead only of 2019-20 (10). The only two times they have lost four of their first nine Premier League games have been in each of the last two campaigns under Erik ten Hag.
Only Southampton and Crystal Palace (6 each) have scored fewer Premier League goals this season than Manchester United (8).
Erik ten Hag lost 32 per cent of his Premier League games in charge of Man Utd (27/85), the joint highest percentage along with David Moyes (11/34). Seven of his 27 defeats came via 90th minute winners, the highest percentage (26 per cent) of any manager to lose 20+ games in Premier League history

When is Ruben Amorim’s first Manchester United game?
Ruben Amorim has been announced as Manchester United’s new manager but his first game in charge will not come until mid-November.
The 39-year-old will remain at Sporting Lisbon until the international break with the Portuguese club adamant their head coach sees out his notice period.
“Manchester United is delighted to announce the appointment of Ruben Amorim as head coach of the men’s first team, subject to work visa requirements,” a statement said.
“He will join until June 2027 with a club option of an additional year, once he has fulfilled his obligations to his current club. He will join Manchester United on Monday 11 November.”

Head-to-head
United and Chelsea have met a total of 195 times, with the first match dating back to Christmas Day in 1905. Overall, United have won 83, Chelsea have won 56 and 56 have ended as draws.
Last season, the two teams played out one of the games of the season at Stamford Bridge, as a hat-trick from Cole Palmer secured a late 4-3 win for Chelsea.
In this fixture last season, United earned a narrow 2-1 win thanks to goals from Scott McTominay.

Enzo Maresca has found a formula which may finally deliver a return on Chelsea’s extraordinary expenditure
Erik ten Hag left Manchester United 14th in one Premier League table and second in another. Had the Dutchman figured in the top two in the standings that mattered most, he would probably be overseeing Sunday’s game against Chelsea. Instead, a meeting of the 2008 Champions League finalists represents another summit clash.
Because, over the course of Ten Hag’s reign, United’s transfer outlay topped £600m. It put them behind only one club, albeit one who spent more than twice as much. With Chelsea’s £1.3bn expenditure, it means these squads should have been bolstered to the tune of almost £2bn in two-and-a-half years.
It is an understatement to say it has not all been well spent. It is also pertinent to note that there are times when Ten Hag wanted to spend even more: on a senior striker in the summer of 2023, on buys in two winter windows when his budget was severely limited. It is a subplot that some of Chelsea’s buying – or the facility to buy within PSR, anyway – came courtesy of United, paying them £55m for the homegrown Mason Mount.

The Blues share similarities in transfer outlays with opponents Manchester United – but might now be a step ahead on making it work

Enzo Maresca sends warning to Enzo Fernandez after dropping Chelsea star
Chelsea head coach Enzo Maresca insisted no player is irreplaceable after dropping £106m midfielder Enzo Fernandez.
The World Cup winner with Argentina has been demoted to Maresca’s second string featuring only in cup competitions, and has not started either of the last two Premier League games.
Co-owners Todd Boehly and Behdad Eghbali fought a dogged battle to land the 23-year-old from Benfica in January 2023, eventually agreeing a then British-record fee to sign him on deadline day.

Enzo Maresca’s Chelsea, meanwhile, are unchanged from the league win over Newcastle last weekend. Jadon Sancho is ineligble to face his parent club and has been struggling with illness, anyway.
