Internet Desk: A tactical masterclass from Jose Mourinho against his former club Chelsea, saw Manchester United produced their best performance under the Portuguese manager to defeat the champions-elect Chelsea and quite possibly tightens the Premier League title race.
Chelsea’s lead remains at four points ahead of Tottenham Hotspur – with the two sides meeting each other in the FA Cup semi-finals next Saturday in which, psychologically, could prove an important fixture – with just six matches to play.
How the United manager will have delighted, revelled in this victory having been humiliated by his former club in the league earlier this season and been knocked out of the FA Cup by them also.
Jose Mourinho got the better of Antonio Conte in all the departments as Manchester United slowed Chelsea’s title charge with a 2-0 win at Old Trafford.
Goals from Marcus Rashford and Ander Herrera gave Mourinho’s United a deserved and a thoroughly comfortable victory to leave the Blues just four points clear of Tottenham at the top of the Premier League.
The result also gave United’s hopes of finishing in the top four a lift on an afternoon when talisman Zlatan Ibrahimovic did not feature until the last 10 minutes.
