Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca has shared his thoughts on the club’s long-standing struggle at Old Trafford. Since 2013, Chelsea has failed to secure a victory on Manchester United's turf. This Sunday, they will face the Red Devils again, hoping to break that frustrating streak.
According to a post shared by Absolute Chelsea via X, Maresca responded with surprise when asked about Chelsea's winless run at Old Trafford during his pre-match conference. "Really? Wow," he said. He acknowledged how challenging it has been for teams to win at United's stadium, a venue known for its electric atmosphere and passionate home crowd. "Hopefully it's a good time [to play them]," Maresca added, suggesting that his squad is prepared to give their best effort to turn the tide.
Old Trafford has not been kind to Chelsea in recent years. The Blues’ last victory there came over a decade ago, a period during which Manchester United consistently defended their home ground. This trend has added pressure on Chelsea, but Maresca remains optimistic. He sees this as an opportunity to prove Chelsea's growth and resilience.
Manchester United, although facing their own challenges this season, have a strong record against Chelsea at home. The Blues will need to overcome both history and the current form of their opponents to secure a win. Fans are eager to see if Maresca’s leadership can guide Chelsea to finally break United's stronghold.
With both teams having much to prove, Sunday’s game is set to be a thrilling encounter. Maresca and his squad are focused on ending the Old Trafford curse, with hopes of bringing joy to the Chelsea faithful.
