Chelsea 1-0 Manchester United

... magnificent performance with the winning goal, emphatically drilled past De Gea. Pogba simply could not get into the game, either before Chelsea took the lead or afterwards when Mourinho looked to his showpiece summer capture, the signing he set his heart on, to revive United's hopes. Chelsea's fans revelled in Pogba's struggles as they chanted "what a waste of money" - no such charges will be levelled at Kante, who looks a £30 m bargain. United had one shot on target in the game - a Marcus Rashford effort saved by Thibaut Courtois. Can anyone stop Chelsea. Chelsea remained on course for that domestic Double, a feat they achieved under Conte's countryman Carlo Ancelotti in 2010. And this was a victory for quality, persistence and character, albeit aided by Herrera's silly foul on Hazard that drew the second yellow card from referee Michael Oliver and left Chelsea with the numerical advantage. Chelsea already look like Premier League champions-elect, standing 10 points clear, and their confidence gives them an air of invincibility. Conte's side are at Wembley in the FA Cup ...

... shuffling of the pack and investing to be done, players to get out and others to bring in. Only after the next transfer window can we say this is a Mourinho squad.". Paul Pogba is yet to show his best form for Manchester United but Rio Ferdinand has backed him. Ferdinand blamed United's failure to challenge for the Premier League title on a lack of "killer instinct" and said Mourinho must add to the club's attacking options at the end of the season. "The first thing Mourinho must address is killer instinct," Ferdinand added. "He needs somebody other than Zlatan Ibrahimovic to decide matches. I'd love to see Antoine Griezmann at Old Trafford. For four years running he's scored 20-plus goals for Atletico Madrid in Spain and has genuine class and ability.". The former defender expects Mourinho to strengthen other areas as well, with midfield another priority. "Previous Mourinho teams contained powerhouses, guys who dominate physically," Ferdinand said. "I see him going for that type in midfield, and United are linked with Monaco's Tiemoue Bakayoko. His midfield partner, Fabinho, is very good too. "Carrick can ...
