“We were lucky he didn’t score more” – Chelsea defenders admit shock after being tormented by United’s unstoppable force.
The Premier League world is still buzzing after last weekend’s thrilling clash between Chelsea and Manchester United, and now one revelation has lit up the debate even further. Marc Cucurella, Chelsea’s full-back, has openly confessed that he has never witnessed such a dangerous version of a player before — and he was talking about a Manchester United star who left the Blues’ defense in pieces.
In his own words, Cucurella admitted:
> “I have never for once witnessed this dangerous version of him before. He really nutmegged our defenders that day, and we were so lucky to escape conceding just two goals.”
The statement has raised eyebrows across England, with fans and pundits immediately speculating about which United star Cucurella was referring to. His words suggest not just admiration but also a recognition of a truly dominant display.
But Cucurella wasn’t alone in his observation. Moises Caicedo, another Chelsea midfielder, reportedly echoed the same feeling after the full-time whistle, further confirming that the United star’s performance was nothing short of breathtaking.
A Nightmare for Chelsea’s Defense
Throughout the match, United’s attacking threat kept Chelsea pinned back, and several moments saw Stamford Bridge holding its breath. Nutmegs, bursts of pace, and relentless pressure made Chelsea’s defenders look uncharacteristically vulnerable.
Cucurella’s honesty has opened the door for fans to reflect on just how much of a challenge United posed. Despite Chelsea escaping with minimal damage, the post-match comments show the team knew they had faced something far more dangerous than expected.
Fans React: Praise and Concern
The revelation has immediately sparked heated debates on social media:
One Chelsea fan posted: “If Cucurella and Caicedo are saying this, you know the guy was unplayable. Respect where it’s due.”
A Manchester United supporter added: “We’ve been waiting for him to show this version — and finally, he’s here. Defenders beware!”
Meanwhile, pundits are now discussing whether this explosive performance marks the turning point of United’s season, with the player Cucurella highlighted possibly stepping into a new level of form.
What This Means Going Forward
Chelsea’s defense, usually known for composure, was pushed to its limits, and both Cucurella and Caicedo’s words underline the reality: United have a star who can destroy top defenses almost single-handedly.
The Premier League is now watching closely. If this United player can maintain this fiery form, he might just become the decisive factor in the title race — and the nightmare of defenders across England.
