Ten Hag quizzed on Neymar links as he hints Rashford ready to return for Manchester United
Follow live coverage as Manchester United face Chelsea in the Premier League today.
The hosts only need a point to make certain of Champions League qualification, which would ensure the club finish ahead of Liverpool in the Premier League’s top four.
Ten Hag named an unchanged side and stuck with the same team that beat Bournemouth at the weekend, with top scorer Marcus Rashford returning to the bench after missing recent games.
Noni Madueke, Mykhailo Mudryk and Carney Chukwuemeka came in for Chelsea as Thiago Silva, Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Raheem Sterling dropped out. The latter was absent from the squad entirely due to a hamstring injury.
We will bring you all the action and updates from today’s game in the live blog below:
Manchester United 1-0 Chelsea
26 mins: This looks serious for Antony. The stretcher has been called and Rashford is warming up.
It looks like Antony’s foot just got caught under Chalobah as the defender slid in – a total accident.

24 mins: Antony is down and receiving treatment – a worry ahead of the FA Cup final…
The Brazilian was challenged by Chalobah as he looked to dribble through a couple of Chelsea defenders – but he is now banging the turf in agony.

Manchester United 1-0 Chelsea
22 mins: This could genuinely be about 2-2 already, but the finishing from both teams has been sloppy.
Apart from Casemiro, that is, who now has seven for the season.

Manchester United 1-0 Chelsea
18 mins: Chance! One long ball and United suddenly have a 3-on-1! Antony squares to Martial, but his touch lets him down and Azpilicueta slides in!
That should have been two – so poor from Martial.

Manchester United 1-0 Chelsea
15 mins: Enzo Fernandez looks frustrated as he switches play to Madueke, only for the winger to lose control with his touch. Chelsea have had some good moments early on, but this is a big ask of a young side.

Manchester United 1-0 Chelsea
13 mins: Antony cuts inside onto his left foot but slips as he shoots for the far corner. That was not very convincing…

Manchester United 1-0 Chelsea
9 mins: Another decent moment for Chelsea as they break down the right, but again Havertz misses the chance to find Gallagher.
Chelsea are getting behind United, but they look so short of confidence in front of goal.

GOAL! Manchester United 1-0 Chelsea (CASEMIRO 6’)
Just the start United wanted – and another huge goal from Casemiro! The midfielder is unmarked from a wide free kick and heads the hosts in front. The goal is awarded after a brief VAR check.
How costly will that miss from Mudryk be?

Manchester United 0-0 Chelsea
CHANCE! It’s sharp from Chelsea to cut through United – it’s worked wide to Hall and the left back squares to Mudryk.
Surely a goal? No! Mudryk steers wide from in front of the posts.

Manchester United 0-0 Chelsea
3 mins: United make a fast start but Chelsea make a break as Lindelof slips. Havertz had the chance to play in Gallagher, but turned it down, before Chukwuemeka curls over.
