The defeat means Antonio Conte's side are now just four points clear of London rivals Tottenham at the top of the Premier League with six games remaining.

United travel to Burnley after the Anderlecht game before the Manchester derby on April 27.

"He played fantastically well, I think he did also a very good game at Stamford Bridge in the FA Cup", said Mourinho of the impressive 19-year-old. This kind of game gives us confidence. "The kid played fantastically well, but everybody fought and did what they had to do".

Last season Chelsea had no pressure in 10th place and you play calm, you are happy. It is a great feeling to know it is hard for us to lose a match.

ASHLEY YOUNG admits he is not sure he will be a Manchester United player next season - despite captaining the side to victory over Chelsea.

"They [United] showed more desire, more ambition, more motivation", he said. Against Crystal Palace we didn't deserve to lose, but today we deserved to lose the game.

He added: "I'm just concentrating on each game and when the manager calls on me, I will give 100 per cent and look to play as well as I can".

"They struggled to cope with us defensively and they struggled to cope with us with Marcus and other target points we had on the pitch. I don't think a lot of people expected it but we did". "We must have the same".

She started every game in the WSL in 2016 and completed 90 minutes in all but the season-opener at Sunderland. They will face Arsenal in the FA Cup final at Wembley next month.

Mourinho felt United were dominant as Chelsea failed to register a shot on target in a league match for the first time since September 2007. His players were enthusiastic students and it probably sums up the way Chelsea were rattled that N'Golo Kanté, of all people, was responsible for losing the ball in the build-up to the second goal.

"I was running with my hand next to my body".

'One is the Europa League and the second is finish in the top four because I think playing in the Champions League is a very good objective for next season.

Herrera shadowed Hazard in a tactical plan by United manager Jose Mourinho that limited the effectiveness of Chelsea's main attacking threat.

Ibrahimovic and Paul Pogba are United's two highest appearance makers this season with 40 and 42 starts respectively.

Herrera said of the team's performance: "It was nearly ideal".

"We expected them to start fast and we had to try and control that, and we never did".

"They totally controlled a team full of fantastic players, who are creative and fast".
