Manchester United beat Chelsea 4-0. Here’s how the Sri Lankan social media fans reacted during the match.
It was the opening game of the season and both sets of fans were looking forward to it with wishful thinking.
Few years back #MUNCHE was the top game of the season. Now both are fighting to get back into top 4. What a game to have as your first one of the season. #MUFC

So who are the favorites before the game?
On paper #MUFC has the better defense while #CHE has the better midfield. Devils has the better forward line mainly because of the Chelsea striker is an unknown quantity. #MUNCHE

Chelsea started the game well apparently….
Chelsea have been brilliant in attack so far.

But it went upside down when Kurt Zouma conceded a penalty in the 18th minute
Almost against the run of play, but we don’t mind. That was a stonewall penalty. And #Rashford is the one to take it. #MUFC
— Sameera (@sameera79) August 11, 2019
Rashford scores the penalty and it’s 1-0 United!
Marcus you beautyyyy

Some praise for Wan Bissaka from both set of fans
AWB winning Sir Matt Busby POTY this season is a given
— Rags (@Ragulator) August 11, 2019
Wan Bissaka so good
— Aamir Cader (@aamircader) August 11, 2019
2nd half starts and not the brightest of starts for Man Utd
Are we allergic to shooting?
— Rags (@Ragulator) August 11, 2019
But few minutes later it was madness……
Martiallahhhhh
— Rags (@Ragulator) August 11, 2019
Oh bloody hell! Two goals in two minutes. 😍 #MUNCHE
— Sameera (@sameera79) August 11, 2019
Wahey Martial! You make sleepy me happy!

A slight dig at former players I see….
Lukaku could never..
— Rags (@Ragulator) August 11, 2019
First Premier League game as manager for Lampard so Chelsea fans are chilled…
Don’t give a fuck about the result. YES I SAID IT. PLAYED SOME INCREDIBLE FOOTBALL WITH HALF A SQAUD. COME ON CHELSEA
— Symbelmynë (@Namma_117) August 11, 2019
And in the 81st minute, it’s 4-0
YES DANIEL JAMESSSSS LAD

Debuts are going fantastic at Old Trafford. The Theatre of Dreams is proving its worthy of the name. 😀#MUNCHE

Interesting question about the game this from a Man Utd fan
Does this say more about Chelsea than it does about us? #mufc
— SriLawi (@WHOASriLawi) August 11, 2019
Finally, it ends 4-0 for Manchester United. Here are some full-time comments…
Chelsea are in for a long season. Their long-time starters are ageing & they’ve got a lot of young blood up front. However, I do think they’ll benefit long-term from a season like this. No doubt the values of players like Mount/Abraham/Tomori will skyrocket along w/ Pulisic/CHO.

Could have been 4:2. But the second half was utterly biased by #MUFC. https://t.co/U3gQart8Og
— Sameera (@sameera79) August 11, 2019
Great start!
— theMUFCfan 🍥 (@theMUFCfan) August 11, 2019
Absolutely buzzing for Dan James! What a debut for him!
Pogba 🅰️🅰️
Marcus ⚽⚽
Martial 🎯
Defense 🚫🥅🚫
4-0 v Chelsea?
— SriLawi (@WHOASriLawi) August 11, 2019
Let me think.
Hmmmmmmmmm
Ok I’ll take it!
This was my first impression too. McGuire looks good too. United has a solid defense, all depends on Rashford. https://t.co/PrLftA2GFm

Well no big hopes @ChelseaFC. Finish in top 4 at least.
