White had had just a single touch in the opposition box by the half-hour mark, a short Alex Greenwood free-kick into her path snuffed out smartly by Hannah Hampton, and when the England striker did manage to prod goalwards from close range before the break, the Villa goalkeeper was alert again to parry away instinctively. United have had four permanent managers since Sir Alex departed in 2013 and are now seeking a fifth after sacking Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. But the control, variety and wicket-taking ability of the spinners is key, and so it proved again. Shakib Al Hasan was skilful as ever and while top wicket-taker Wanindu Hasaranga (16 at 9.75) was unplayable at times, fellow leggieAdam Zampawas an instrumental part of Australia's side. Chelsea initially coped well with Lukaku's absence, delivering emphatic victories over Norwich and Newcastle, but a draw at home to Burnley in their final game before the international break highlighted the striker's absence.
