Striking Crisis Forces Jose Mourinho Into Tactical Change Against Chelsea

... taller against Aleksandr Bukharov and perhaps prevented the goal. 2/11 Chris Smalling - 4 out of 10. Almost as culpable as Jones for the goal. Some simple communication between the pair would have prevented Rostov’s goal. 3/11 Phil Jones - 4 out of 10. Cost his side when he failed to track Bukharov's run over his shoulder. Too easily beaten by the long ball out the back. 4/11 Marcos Rojo – 6 out of 10. United’s best defender, though that is not saying much. Produced an important, last-ditch tackle to deny Rostov on the break late on. 5/11 Ashley Young - 6 out of 10. Showed purpose from wing-back in the first-half but ultimately lacked a telling end-product. 6/11 Daley Blind - 5 out of 10. Left with too much responsibility as a lone man on the left flank. Struggled to offer United the width they required to penetrate. 7/11 Marouane Fellaini - 7 out of 10. One player who suited the adverse conditions underfoot and repeated balls over the top. Combined his physicality with a rare bit of technique in the build-up to Henrikh Mkhitaryan's goal. 8/11 Ander Herrera – 5 out of 10. Game for the rough tackling that defined the first half hour but ...

Chelsea 1-0 Manchester United

... shortly after the break to knock out a United side who had Ander Herrera sent off in the first half. Antonio Conte's side join Manchester City, Tottenham and Arsenal in the last four, while United must move on quickly from the defeat - with their Europa League clash with Rostov on Thursday. Here's what Sportsmail's Sami Mokbel took from the heavyweight cup clash at Stamford Bridge. Chelsea's N'Golo Kante fired home from just outside the box after the break at Stamford Bridge. Manchester United have a Kante-shaped hole in midfield. Jose Mourinho wishes he had an N'Golo Kante of his own - and United will make a move to sign a player in the Chelsea star's mould this summer. Everton's Idrissa Gueye is among the names being monitored by United scouts ahead of the summer as they search for a defensive-minded midfielder.

Rio Ferdinand 'certain' Paul Pogba Will Find Best Form For Manchester United

... 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 continue having a influence but he's 36 this summer and United need someone else who can dictate from deep. The types I'd go for are Toni Kroos and Luka Modric, but you're not going to prise them from Real Madrid. I like Adrien Rabiot at Paris Saint-Germain, and Saul Niguez of Atletico Madrid is another ...

Herrera Did Not Deserve Red Card Against Chelsea, Says Lampard

... the moments, you take a view,' said Lampard. 'The crowd is up, Jones could have got a yellow, it was Jones' third foul on Hazard - strong one. The United players were furious with Oliver for sending off the midfielder, surrounding him. 'I don't think in this instance it was a yellow card necessarily but when you dive in straight after the ref is ready to book someone after that first one'. Former United man Phil Neville also thought the referee had got it wrong, pointing out it was only Herrera's second foul. 'I don't think it's a yellow card for the foul he actually made though,' said Neville. 'It was Jones that tackled Hazard before, not Herrera. He's not been booked for persistent fouling. That second yellow card is weak for me.'. Herrera was living dangerously having already been booked for fouling the Belgian star. Alan Shearer was the only pundit who thought that the United man merited his sending off. He added: 'You can't complain with [the first booking] at all. He knows what he's doing there, he's stopping Hazard. 'The second one, I know he hasn't made a foul since his yellow card but the referee is ...

Manchester United Planning Shock Move For Arsenal's Mesut Ozil

... Mesut Ozil has been linked with a move to Manchester United to join up with former mentor Jose Mourinho. The football world's gossip mill is in full swing, and Transfer Talk is already monitoring the whispers ahead of all the summer moves. Check out the latest deals here. United 'consider move for Arsenal's Ozil'. Arsenal fans are already anxious about the future of Alexis Sanchez - and they can start worrying about Mesut Ozil as well, the Manchester Evening News  reports. It says United "are ready to make a shock move" for Germany international Ozil, who worked with manager Jose Mourinho at Real Madrid. Ozil, like Sanchez, is out of contract next year and has yet to commit to another despite having been offered fresh terms. And the paper suggests Mourinho could even "be interested in bringing Sanchez to Old Trafford.". The possibility that United could move for one - or even both - has been given added weight because it appears increasingly unlikely that Atletico Madrid's Antoine Griezmann will arrive in the summer. Earlier this month, reports said a Griezmann deal had been "lessened in priority" by United, and ...
