Gary Neville has singled out Manchester United duo Bruno Fernandes and Christian Eriksen as two players who should have performed better in the draw against Chelsea.
The Red Devils wiped out a draw thanks to a late header from Casemiro that tied the scores after Jorginho gave the Blues the lead from the spot in the 87th minute.
Eriksen was recalled to the starting lineup by manager Erik ten Hag after being dropped on the bench mid-week for the 2-0 win over Tottenham.

The Danish playmaker and Fernandes saw a lot of the ball as the Red Devils dominated most of the possession, but neither were able to create meaningful chances for their side to score.
Manchester United legend Gary Neville thought Bruno Fernandes and Christian Eriksen should have done better against Chelsea.
Neville believes the duo should have done better with the quality they have and insists they wouldn’t have an easier time doing that at Chelsea.

The former Reds right-back said in the Gary Neville Podcast: “For 30-35 minutes it became quite clear after five minutes that Manchester United’s midfield absolutely dominated Chelsea’s.
“Those two Chelsea had really struggled, Jorginho and Loftus-Cheek, and that was kind of a really fundamental part of the game.
“But when you have a game by the scruff of the ball, like United did, they should have scored the goal, but they didn’t.

“Casemiro was on the ball, Eriksen and Fernandes were in the pocket and I thought with more quality at the top of their game Eriksen and Fernandes should have done better at that time of the game.
“They will never play an easier game at Stamford Bridge than they did in that first part – Chelsea couldn’t come close to them.”
The pair will have another chance to make a difference for Manchester United on Thursday, as they will face the Moldovan sheriff in the Europa League.
