Manchester United resumes their Premier League campaign under interim manager Ruud van Nistelrooy, hosting Chelsea at Old Trafford on Sunday.

This match marks United’s first league game since Erik ten Hag’s departure, with Van Nistelrooy looking to capitalize on the momentum from his emphatic 5-2 EFL Cup victory over Leicester.

Although newly appointed manager Ruben Amorim won’t be in the dugout yet, United will aim for a strong performance to start this new era.

Chelsea arrives at Old Trafford following an inconsistent spell, which includes a 2-0 EFL Cup loss to Newcastle.

With only two wins in their last five matches across all competitions, the Blues will need a sharp performance to avoid dropping crucial points as they prepare to face Arsenal next in the league.

The Sporting News looks at the key details ahead of this game, including how to watch the match, kickoff times and the latest lineup news.
