The Blues face the Red Devils as the new Premier League season is about to open, with a must-watch contest between two top teams. There are many story-lines going into this match, but all eyes will be on Frank Lampard as he makes his managerial debut against Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, whose flying start as Man United gaffer came to a disastrous close at the end of the 2018/19 season. Here's how to live stream the Chelsea vs Manchester United match.
These two clubs trended in opposite directions at the end of the previous campaign, with Chelsea moving up several spots to land a third-place finish while Manchester United slumped to a Europa League slot in sixth.
Manchester United wasn't afraid to dig deep into its pockets to make some high-profile signings in the off-season, including a near-$100 million move for center-back Harry Maguire and another $62 million splash for Aaron Wan-Bissaka. For its part, Chelsea will benefit from the arrival of American winger Christian Pulisic and Croatian midfielder Mateo Kovacic, who finalized a move from Real Madrid after a loan spell.
Right now, Manchester Utd vs Chelsea is closing Match Day 1 today (August 11), with a start time of 11:30 a.m. Eastern | 8:30 a.m. Pacific | 4:30 p.m. BST.
