Manchester  United’s victory over Chelsea earned them a tricky trip to face Wolves away from home in the quarter-finals of the FA Cup.

The red devils  booked their place in the FA Cup quarter-final with a comfortable 2-0 win over Chelsea.

The Red Devils unbeaten run under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was ended by Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League last week, but they produced the perfect response in west London.


Led by a man of the match display from Paul Pogba, United saw off the home side’s early threat and took charge with two goals before half-time.

Pogba’s teasing delivery was headed home by Ander Herrera to open the scoring, before the Frenchman himself powered home the second.

Chelsea again flattered to deceive under Maurizio Sarri and exit the competition with little more than a whimper, as United won at Stamford Bridge for the first time since 2012.
