With Paul Pogba out injured and Herrera suspended, Mourinho stationed Fellaini and Carrick in the midfield. Time and again, the Portuguese manager has shown his faith in the Belgian, despite a lot of flak from the Red Devils fans.

However, the midfielder proved his manager’s faith in him right by scoring the opening goal for the visitors, his first in Premier League since December 2015. On the other hand, the Wembley hero, Jesse Lingard scored a screamer to double United’s lead, which was his first in the league in 13 months.
