Flying United turn up the heat on Sarri
MANCHESTER United increased the pressure on under-fire Chelsea manager Maurizio Sarri as they dumped the holders out of the FA Cup here last night.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side inflicted more misery on the Italian with a comfortable win to reach the last eight. Ander Herrera and Paul Pogba scored the first-half goals that earned United a trip to Wolves.
‘It was a perfect performance defensively,’ said Solskjaer. ‘The tactics worked well. I asked the players to defend higher up the pitch and they did.
‘It was a massive win after the defeat by Paris Saint-Germain and the criticism we had.’
Pogba put United’s victory down to the trust he and his team-mates have built up with interim boss Solskjaer.
‘Ole trusts us and we trust him. We play to win trophies and he has come in to deliver that.
‘Tonight was a beautiful win and a great performance by the team.’
