Ander Herrera Getting Man of Match Was "A Negative" Blasts Chelsea Legend

Chelsea's second loss in four games has reopened the title race, offering hope to second-placed Tottenham who are just four points behind with six games to go.

Rashford's display suggested he deserves to be given more chances through the centre, where United's top scorer Zlatan Ibrahimovic - rested on Sunday - has started nearly every game this season. Interestingly goalkeeper Asmir Begovic, who played because of injury to Thibaut Courtois, admitted that United showed more determination to win.

"In this case, the fault is the coach". It means the coach wasn't able to transfer the right concentration, desire, ambition to win this type of game.

"If you can get it to three points or below - where every single game is going to make a difference - that's when you can see real pressure get put on Chelsea". "The league is open and we have a 50 percent (chance) to win the league". "When they tried to play counter-attack we were always in control of these two link positions", he added.

They are both phenomenal midfielders but they are not going to deliver that sort of pass - there is a reason why Chelsea look far more unsafe when Cesc Fabregas is in the team.

"I prefer to fight for the title instead of don't fight for the title and stay calm". We are lucky to have the pressure.

"He is still very, very young, but I think he is very important for us".

But Chelsea failed to have a shot on target in an EPL game for the first time since September 2007, which also came against United at Old Trafford.

"I think it was nearly ideal", Herrera said.

'We have to react in the right way, ' he said. I'm really happy with the boys.

"The first reason is, with Liverpool and Manchester City's victories, if we don't win today, goodbye Premier League [top four]".

The small blue contingent inside Old Trafford will have expected some sort of resurgence at the beginning of the second period, but Conte's plans were thrown out of the window early on as United managed to double their lead. They have to be on the front foot and get everyone in the stadium on the edge of their seat, like they have done for the best part of 20 years. We still have a four-point advantage which at the beginning of the season we would have taken at this stage.

"But it's a great feeling to know that it's hard for us to lose a match, people fight until the end".

Cahill wants a similar answer to that set-back and knows a fifth Premier League crown is not simply waiting for Chelsea at the end of the season.
