MANCHESTER, England (Reuters) - Manchester United's Scott McTominay scored either side of halftime to lift his team to a well-deserved 2-1 Premier League victory over Chelsea at Old Trafford on Wednesday.

United dominated in a victory that lifted Erik ten Hag's beleaguered team, who have been hounded by recent reports of unrest in the dressing room, into sixth in the table on 27 points after 15 games. Chelsea are 10th on 19 points.
