How we nullified Chelsea's threat - Jose Mourinho

Adjust Comment Print

United are still in with a slight hope of sneaking into the top four and secure Champions League qualification for next term, with Darmian believing that Rashford will be a major influence on their ambitions.

Despite his protestations to the contrary, those close to Mourinho say he was very hurt by the abuse meted out to him by Chelsea fans, and you could see how much he relished beating his former club yesterday, as he defiantly pointed to the United badge at the end of the game.

"He is a very good in every part of the game, he has a very good shot, movement, speed".

Chelsea led the table by 10 points at the start of April and Conte, whose side were also beaten by Crystal Palace a fortnight ago, accepted the blame for the latest slip-up.

"We didn't play a good game and United deserved to win. Be patient and have great will to fight. otherwise we must clap another team", he added.

Mourinho said: "Normally you win the title if you are 22 matches unbeaten and we are struggling to finish top four".

"I think it can be a good night on Thursday but we have to try to win because it is the most important thing". "We did that at Stamford Bridge when we played with 11, with 10 it was more hard and today we control".

"Diego is very unsafe but the two link positions are the two positions we have to control".

Mourinho, whose team lost 1-0 at Chelsea in the FA Cup last month after being reduced to 10 men, said: "I want to say I was convinced even before the cup that controlling the two players that played behind Diego [Costa] - sometimes Hazard, sometimes Hazard-Pedro - controlling the position of these two players, and controlling the full-backs because they go really deep with two wide men, would create them lots of problems. He is still very, very young and I think he is very important for us", the Italian defender told the Manchester Evening News.

"For this reason we must have great enthusiasm to play these last six games".

"I think we played really well (against Chelsea), a very solid performance".
