Manchester United hold on for overdue win as Chelsea rue Robert Sanchez red card

Ruben Amorim’s Manchester United ended an eventful encounter with a much-needed 2-1 victory over Chelsea as Robert Sanchez’s early red card proved more costly than goal-scorer Casemiro’s sending-off.

Pressure has been mounting on the Red Devils boss after the club’s worst top-flight season in 51 years was compounded by a sluggish start to the new campaign.

Under-fire Amorim got the response he needed to United’s meek Manchester derby defeat, with Bruno Fernandes and Casemiro scoring in a chaotic first half bookended by red cards before the hosts saw off a late Chelsea charge sparked by Trevoh Chalobah’s header.
