® MAROUANE FELLAINI has told Chelsea to forget about thrashing Manchester United again.

United return to Stamford Bridge on Monday in the FA Cup just four months after a crushing 4-0 Premier League defeat there.

Jose Mourinho was stunned as his return to the club that sacked him last season turned into a total nightmare.

It was United’s worst league defeat in five seasons, but Fellaini insists it will be different this time as the Reds are high on confidence following an unbeaten run of 17 league games.

Now Fellaini wants to

He said: “Of course they (Hazard and Courtois) are confident, but let’s go there and see what we can do.

“Obviously we lost there a few months ago but now it is the FA Cup, a new game and a different competitio­n.

“It will be tight. They are top of the league and have a lot of confidence and great players, but we will show our quality there and see what happens.”

United, meanwhile, have agreed blockbuste­r clashes with Manchester City and Barcelona in America this summer.

The two games will take place as part of the Internatio­nal Champions Cup that will also involve Real Madrid.
