Football: Manchester United frustrated by Chelsea in goalless draw

MANCHESTER - Manchester United have failed to win their first three home league games for the first time in 48 years after Edinson Cavani's debut failed to inspire the hosts in Saturday's dour 0-0 draw against Chelsea.

United's only win in their last six home games was in the Europa League against Austrian side LASK last season, when they were already 5-0 up from the away leg. They are languishing in 15th place after a spluttering start that raises serious questions about Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's hopes of ever turning United into title contenders.

Chelsea's conservative tactics were a means to an end for Blues boss Frank Lampard, who had been alarmed by the defensive issues that saw them concede three against West Bromwich Albion and Southampton. Chelsea are far from the finished product however, lacking much cohesion in attack, and they sit in sixth place after drawing three of their last four league games.

With torrential rain lashing down, nearly 30 minutes passed without a single notable incident before Chelsea keeper Edouard Mendy nearly scored an incredible own goal when his miscued pass across his six-yard box rolled just wide for a United corner. Chelsea finally showed signs of life when Pulisic broke away for a shot that deflected wide from 20 yards.
