It remains goalless between Manchester United and Chelsea.

There’s not a lot happening in the pouring rain but we’ll still have plenty of moments to digest at half-time. Follow @StrettyNews on Twitter.

Both sides are struggling to create big chances and I wouldn’t be surprised if the game ended as a scoreless draw. The outcome should be tight either way.

One talking point was Bruno Fernandes clashing with Chelsea midfielder Jorginho in the middle of the park. He gave a very gentle slap on the back of his head during the first half, which is a risky move in today’s game.

The response below from a Chelsea fan made us laugh!

Especially in this hyper-sensitive world where VAR makes bizarre decisions on a weekly basis.

Fernandes would have been in trouble had Jorginho made a meal of the situation by going down holding his face.

Thankfully there was none of that nonsense.
