Fans eagerly await a thrilling encounter in the upcoming FA Cup round. With only eight teams remaining and competing for the trophy, one of the quarter-final clashes will see Chelsea and Manchester United lock horns.
This game will give the Red Devils an excellent opportunity to avenge the heavy defeat they suffered at Stamford Bridge. Mourinho’s boys traveled to London to face his former side, but came back with a 4-0 whipping.
The Premier League leaders have, however, already raised the stakes in this game. Chelsea took a sly but hilarious dig at their FA Cup opponents on their official website.
The Blues wrote a normal match report ahead of Matchday. There was nothing to see until the 9th paragraph where the leaders trolled Man United on their unbeaten run.
Despite not having lost in the league since their Stamford Bridge trip, Ibrahimovic and Co. remain in sixth. Chelsea rubbed this in their rivals’ face.
They wrote: "Monday's cup opponents are enjoying a long unbeaten run in the league stretching back to October. It has lifted them all the way from sixth to sixth. That last defeat was, of course, the one they endured at the Bridge. Pedro's 29.6 seconds opener in that 4-0 triumph remains the fastest goal in the league this season."
