LONDON: Marouane Fellaini insists Manchester United are confident of avenging the worst moment of Jose Mourinho’s reign when they return to Chelsea in the FA Cup quarter-finals on Monday (today).
Mourinho’s first visit to Stamford Bridge since his sacking as Chelsea boss last season ended in humiliation as his former club romped to a 4-0 victory over United in October.
United have used the memory of that painful loss to fuel a dominant period which has seen them lose just twice in all competitions since then.
United midfielder Fellaini is adamant they can turn the tables with a place in the semi-finals up for grabs. “Obviously we lost there a few months ago, but now it is the FA Cup and we will see what happens,” Fellaini said. “It will be tight, I think. It is the FA Cup, it is one game.”
