Jose Mourinho might not have had a memorable stint with Manchester United but there is simply no doubt in the 'Special One ' is a mastermind in setting up a team. This quality of his was on display when United faced Mourinho's former club: Chelsea. The Blues had beaten Mourinho's men 4-0 a few months ago and this match at Old Trafford had everything on stake.

When United hosted Antonio Conte's Chelsea, they were looking to secure a double over Jose Mourinho and go closer to lifting the Premier League title. The Italian had the majestic Eden hazard in his side and but little did he know that Manchester United had a plan to stop the Belgian.

As Eden Hazard took on the field at Old Trafford, there was one man who was assigned the duty to stop the Belgian maestro and that man was the Spanish babyface: Ander Herrera.

Herrera turned in one of the most impressive performances of recent times as not only did he fulfill the task of nullifying Eden Hazard to perfection, he also scored a goal as Manchester United defeated Chelsea 2-0. To this day, fans worldwide talk about Ander Herrera's superb display on that day in April 2017.
