According to a report by Flashscore on Saturday October 31, 2026, Manchester United and Chelsea reached half-time level at 0-0 after an entertaining opening period, with both sides creating opportunities but neither managing to produce a goal that could stand at Stamford Bridge today.
United threatened through Andrey Santos, Amad Diallo and Matheus Cunha, whose powerful header briefly appeared to give the visitors the lead before VAR ruled the effort out for offside following a review.
Chelsea enjoyed spells of possession and came closest when Moises Caicedo struck the post, while Pedro Neto missed narrowly. United must improve their decision-making after several promising attacks ended wastefully in the final third.
Four Manchester United Players Who Disappointed in the First Half
1. Bruno Fernandes
The Manchester United captain struggled to make his attacking contributions count. He wasted a promising shooting opportunity, overhit several passes and delivered some ineffective corners, preventing his teammates from benefiting from dangerous attacking situations.
2. Amad Diallo
Despite showing moments of attacking quality, Amad was wasteful in front of goal. He missed a promising opportunity from the edge of the box and sent another effort over the crossbar after creating shooting space inside Chelsea's penalty area.
3. Leny Yoro
Yoro struggled to make a meaningful contribution when United attempted to build attacks from defensive positions. His attempted pass into Chelsea's penalty area was intercepted, although United managed to win a corner from the situation.
4. Carlos Baleba
Baleba endured an underwhelming opening period, with his seventh-minute challenge resulting in a free kick for Chelsea. He needed to show greater discipline and composure to avoid giving the hosts unnecessary opportunities.
