What the coverage says
Chelsea defeated Manchester United 2-0 at Stamford Bridge after second-half goals from Cole Palmer and Morgan Rogers.

BBC Sport and The Independent both noted the defeat increases pressure on Carrick, while BBC Sport added that pundits Danny Murphy and Stephan Warnock questioned whether Martinez has become a liability.
