The Sky Sports writers analyse the key talking points from Tuesdays action in the Premier League as both Chelsea and Manchester United improve their ...

He will see for himself just how much work there is to do in the January market. He carries the burden of scoring the goals in a side that struggles to do so. They improved in the second period yet struggled to break the hosts down, seeing their best chance come through Dominic Solanke's final-minute header. Cesar Azpilicueta - James' replacement - was unable to provide the same attacking threat on the right. Reports suggest United are working on a shoe-string budget having overspent in the summer. He has a hunger to score different types of goals and is becoming more ruthless as a result. Even with the help of Martial, Antony, Bruno Fernandes and Alejandro Garnacho. It signals a changing of the guard. But what's key for United is that he has adapted to the Premier League so quickly. There's been a distinct shift in his mentality. The 25-year-old forward looks like a man transformed under Erik ten Hag. Casemiro is a five-time Champions League winner for a reason.

Story Behind The Shot: Goal-scoring moments (Manchester United)

Ash Donelon, United photographer, continues to reflect on his favourite images from the season so far.

“However, when I saw him sprint in the opposite direction, my heart sank as my view was obscured by a line of stewards, TV camera operators, and the frame of the goal. Ash says: “Photographing a football match means having to adapt to whatever happens on the pitch. “When Scott McTominay scored in the 93rd minute I wanted to get a shot of him celebrating, however so did the TV Steadicam operator, and he raced in front of my lens. “Fast-forward a few months to the final Europa League group-stage match in San Sebastian, and I was able to get a shot of the two players together, celebrating Alejandro’s first senior goal for the Reds. The downside is that people have to walk in front of my lens to get past, so there’s a constant stream of substitutes warming up, camera operators, and stewards to work around. At Old Trafford, working in the North East and North West corners is great because I’m behind the advertising boards, meaning any stewards have to walk behind me to get past, so they don’t block my view.

Hennessey also stood firm to block from Martial and Rashford from close range, but the Red Devils finally got the third goal they deserved three minutes from time. A brilliantly worked corner opened the floodgates for United as Christian Eriksen picked out an unmarked Rashford inside the area to sweep into the top corner.

Seven of our international Reds at the time, meanwhile, were selected to represent their nations at the upcoming Euro 2022. It also marked the start of our transfer activity, with Diane Caldwell and Martha Harris leaving the club following the conclusion of their contracts. Russo, meanwhile, earned the plaudits of her team-mates and was awarded the Player’s Player of the Year accolade. In 2021, we had our first game at the Theatre of Dreams, beating West Ham 2-0 thanks to goals from former Reds Lauren James and Christen Press, but it was a match played behind closed doors due to the Covid-19 pandemic. A final-day fixture against Chelsea made for an entertaining affair, with United needing to win to have any chance of securing European qualification, while the Blues were looking to pip Arsenal to another WSL title. In four instalments of the WSL, three wins and one draw against West Ham would see us get things rolling once more, after a difficult February.
