5 reasons why Manchester United may destroy Chelsea

#1 Pogba's redemption

Pogba's situation is set to fuel him to put on a clinic

While all the chatter continues around the team and manager, the Red Devils actually possess a player who can dominate Chelsea's midfield.

Paul Pogba remains the most expensive player at Manchester United and there is a reason why the club decided to shell out £89m for the Frenchman.

The 24-year old is a player tipped by many to be the present and future at Old Trafford and has generally struggled under Mourinho, barring the occasional show of brilliance

Nevertheless, Pogba's talent is unquestioned as his performances for Juventus under Conte have been impressive over three seasons.

While the rumours of bad blood between Mourinho and the lanky midfielder persist, both are sensible enough to realize the magnitude of the match and the impact it could have for their season.

The absence of Tiemoue Bakayoko implies Chelsea either has to play the defensive-minded Danny Drinkwater or the offensive-minded Cesc Fabregas alongside N'Golo Kante.

Thus, Pogba has a great chance to dominate the midfield battle and redeem himself.

After all, whenever the Frenchman dominates the midfield, United more often than not go on to win the game.
