Manchester United 0 - 0 Chelsea

Wayne Rooney was recalled to the starting line-up by David Moyes for the biggest match of the season so far... The England striker's tackle on Ramires (above) was the only thing that deserved a cheer on a turgid night at Old Trafford as these two giants of the Premier League played out a goalless draw - the first at Old Trafford in 77 games.

Manchester United and Chelsea ground out a goalless draw at Old Trafford that exposed both side's shortcomings a week before the transfer window closes.

Although United had the better of David Moyes' first home Premier League game in charge, they lacked the authority to exert the kind of sustained pressure which might have shaken John Terry out of his defensive superiority.

Last season's Golden Boot winner Robin van Persie barely had a chance of note, his best opportunity coming three minutes from time when his goalbound volley deflected to safety off Gary Cahill and John Obi Mikel.
