And after being taken off early against Tottenham, Hurzeler has fired a warning to Baleba.

Reports from English media have already started suggesting that Graham Potter faces an uncertain future at the London Stadium.

Manchester United finally beat a top-level opponent under Ruben Amorim at Old Trafford as they secured a 2-1 win over Chelsea, courtesy of goals from Bruno Fernandes and Casemiro.

Chelsea couldn't recover from their goalkeeper's costly early red card as they suffered their first Premier League defeat of the season.
