Chelsea should be wary of a Manchester United revival after Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s sacking

Chelsea face Manchester United, in the clubs first game in the Premier League after the sacking of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. United are set to hire German, Ralf Rangnick in an interim role but Michael Carrick will take charge at Stamford Bridge before Rangnick is officially announced.

N'Golo Kante is looking like a fitness doubt for the game and with Ben Chilwell out after picking up an ACL injury - Chelsea fans should be wary of a Manchester United looking to bounce back.

Carefree Chelsea’s presenter and writer Anita Abayomi (AA) spoke with Daniel Childs (DC) and United On My Mind's writers, Omar Garrick (OG) and Casey Evans (CE) on Saturday morning's Carefree Chelsea Pre-Match show about the precarious Alonso at left-back...

AA: “I’m not entirely sure what will happen. I’m not confident I can’t lie. Losing Kante and Ben Chilwell is the icing on the cake. I don’t think I can predict what will happen or even the line-ups.

“On paper, we should be winning this. You guys don’t have a manager that’s different from Ole right now. Technically we should go into this match as confident as ever.

“However, Marcus Rashford raises my blood though. He loves a goal against Chelsea and I’m sure he's in the starting eleven for you guys. Jadon Sancho is looking great at the moment too. He scored his first goal for you guys in midweek.

“Then you’ve got Mr inevitable - Cristiano Ronaldo. I’m looking at this and thinking, how are we going to do this with Marcos Alonso playing at left wing-back

“Marcos Alonso comes in and the whole dynamic shifts at the back. So I don't know“
