Matheus Cunha was denied a goal during Manchester United’s Premier League clash with Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on Saturday afternoon.

The Brazilian thought he had broken the deadlock for Michael Carrick’s side, only for the effort to be ruled out for offside as United were left frustrated in their attempts to take the lead.

It was another moment of frustration for the visitors, who arrived in West London under pressure following a difficult start to the 2026-27 campaign, and created several good opportunities in the first half.

United had endured a miserable run of results heading into the contest, winning just once in their opening eight Premier League matches.

Carrick’s men were also looking to respond to a disappointing 3-0 defeat at home to Bournemouth the previous weekend, which had left them sitting 16th in the table.

Chelsea, meanwhile, entered the game in fifth place but were also looking to bounce back after consecutive defeats to Tottenham and Liverpool in the Premier League and Carabao Cup respectively.

The hosts had their own early frustration when Estevao saw an effort ruled out for offside, before Cunha was denied at the other end.
