Big surprise in the starting lineup presented by Michael Carrick, Manchester United’s interim manager, against leader Chelsea in a Premier League match at Stamford Bridge. Cristiano Ronaldo will start the game on the substitute bench in a tactical decision since the Portuguese does not have physical problems.

Carrick has preferred to reinforce the center line of the field, formed by a double pivot with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, with Scott McTominay, Nemanja Matic and Fred. Jadon Sancho and Marcus Rashford will play on the wings, while everything indicates that Bruno Fernandes will play as a hook or even a false 9 to the detriment of Cristiano Ronaldo.
