Having contributed 33 goals and assists last season, expectation was heavy on Cole Palmer's shoulders this season and the Englishman has not failed to disappoint with 12 goal contributions in just 10 matches.
Chelsea Coach Enzo Maresca said: I don't think he has the intention of going for the ball. For me, it is clear. It was not the intention to go for the ball. He goes for the legs.
Chelsea have started their current campaign exceptionally well, and sit fourth, above rivals Arsenal. Having lost just two games, to the top two of Liverpool and Manchester City.
Palmer, who is 25/1 to win the 2025 Ballon d'Or, played the full 90 minutes against Manchester United but the 22-year-old was on the wrong end of a knee-high challenge.
