Cesar Azpilicueta 6

A solid outing from the Blues captain who changed positions once again and showed his quality. Showed the anticipation to intercept the ball early when required and brought the consistency that has been his hallmark for the last decade. Unfortunately was the figure to play Ronaldo onside for his equaliser. 

Thiago Silva 7

The Brazilian still defies belief, even when against an opponent that shares his age in Cristiano Ronaldo. The 37-year-old rarely looked under pressure as he timed his interceptions perfectly and led the defence. 

Antonio Rudiger 6

Some strong words, speculative shots, and good defending marked Rudiger's return to the starting XI in a display that showed the standard Chelsea need to find next season in whoever replaces Tuchel's talisman. Picked up a yellow card late on and perhaps a little to tempted to pick up another but rode the line. 

Reece James 8

The England international was back on the right flank and immediately in the thick of Chelsea's attacking action. There has been much talk over where James is best suited, with thought given to putting his body under less demand, but there's no doubting he adds another dimension to the Blues' attacking play. Hit the post in the latter stages, but there is no doubt Chelsea need him at wing-back. MOTM for me.

N'Golo Kante 7

While the Frenchman has endured some sub-par form of late, he started his night at Old Trafford in a busy fashion, buzzing around the pitch to keep the ball moving in Chelsea's possession. The midfielder played a penetrating pass to Kai Havertz in the 25th minute and looked to have set him up once again moments later but his teammate could not provide the finish. A better performance from the World Cup winner, but had some fault in Manchester United's goal. 

Jorginho 6

A steady performance from the Italian who showed some good flashes in attacking moments but was less convincing in his defensive efforts. 

Marcos Alonso 7

The Spaniard started his night with a very tidy touch with the outside of his boot towards Kai Havertz and in the second half surpassed it following a poor header from his teammate. Alonso produced another good strike from a foray into the box to give Chelsea the lead as the hour passed. Showed once again what he can add despite his critics. 

Mason Mount 7

It was a quieter evening for one of Chelsea's premier attacking talents but Mount's movement was still able to generate plenty of space for James. Perhaps slightly fortunate not to be substituted when Tuchel freshened up his options. The former Derby loanee perhaps produced the touch of the match when his Cryuff-style lay-off found James however. 

Kai Havertz 6

The 22-year-old will be disappointed that he didn't do better in the opening period as Kante slipped him through twice, and only once effort tested David De Geo, much to Tuchel's dismay. A rare failure with his head followed in the 36th minute as the former Leverkusen ace continued to find chances. 

Timo Werner 6

The German forward was in inspired form during his warm-up, repeatedly hitting the back of the net during his warm-up drills. The 26-year-old couldn't quite replicate it during the match but it was another solid outing from the German.

Substitutes:

Romelu Lukaku: Limited impact from the Belgian international following his introduction. 5.

Christian Pulisic: The US star had little impact on the game but Mount seemed to perk up after he got on the pitch. 5.

Ruben Loftus-Cheek: Not much time for the midfielder to make an impact. 5.
