Jose Mourinho: 'I will not give up on top four'

If we can play like we did against Chelsea then I am sure we can get through against Anderlecht and into the semi finals.

"It's not so much stepping up to the plate, because we're a team and just missing one player doesn't cancel out everything that we've worked on in the week".

"We deserve to win a lot of games but sometimes it is not possible to win and we draw".

United played with two up front and with wing-backs who were high up the pitch.

An excellent finish in the 7th minute gave Manchester United an early lead but the ball clearly touched Ander Herrera's hand before reaching goal-scorer Marcus Rashford.

"I think Marcus is a great player", Darmian told reporters.

Rashford's display suggested he deserves to be given more chances through the centre, where United's top scorer Zlatan Ibrahimovic - rested on Sunday - has started nearly every game this season. He had a very good game at Stamford Bridge in the cup, exactly the same chance to score, because he is faster than their defenders.

Roberto Firmino scored Liverpool's winning goal for the second straight game as his team climbed back above Manchester City into third place.

Although there are still some doubters about his game and attitude, Westbrook just cemented his name in the history books. Russell Westbrook has done it and now the Oklahoma City Thunder have their eyes on a bigger prize-the NBA Playoffs.

It was a signature win for Mourinho near the end of his first season at United. He points out Diego Costa, Eden Hazard, and Cesc Fabregas as the players responsible for hinging the season for Chelsea as they continue to challenge for the Premier League title.

The two titles contenders have six games remaining of their league campaigns and Tottenham have arguably the hardest run-in.

Chelsea's immediate attention now switches to the FA Cup but, interestingly, they play in-form Spurs in their semi-final at Wembley next Saturday.

"We gave them double problems".

"One is the Europa League and the second is finish in the top four because I think playing in the Champions League is a very good objective for next season".

"Diego is very risky but the two link positions are the two positions we have to control".

"And I repeat the same: They are phenomenal in counter-attack, and when they have the ball it's more hard for them and when they have the ball we are compact and when they try to play counter-attack we were always in control of these link positions".
