Man Utd ratings: Alex Telles brutally targeted by Chelsea but Cristiano Ronaldo strike earns lacklustre home side point
MANCHESTER UNITED laboured to an unlikely draw as Chelsea dominated them at Old Trafford.
The Red Devils played like a side that wishes its season would just end, amid talk of dressing room unrest and players that want out.

Among those likely to leave is Jesse Lingard, who was omitted altogether after Paul Scholes let slip that the Man United midfielder told him that the dressing room is a "disaster";.
Those that did take to the field tonight played at a half-pace, but somehow weren't made to pay by a Blues side that also looked ready to head to the beach, despite their FA Cup final next month.
Marcos Alonso volleyed Chelsea into the lead on the hour mark, only for Cristiano Ronaldo to level just two minutes later.
