Man United start well at Chelsea but struggle after Herrera's red card

FA Cup holders Manchester United bowed out vs. Chelsea at the quarterfinal stage after a start that promised so much. Marcus Rashford spearheaded considerable intensity in attack but, once Ander Herrera was dismissed for a second yellow card, Jose Mourinho's side were mostly concerned with holding the fort and their best performances came from defenders.

Positives

Marcos Rojo was immense at centre-back, even pressing into the final third as late as the 85th minute, while Antonio Valencia was equally terrific on the right flank. Rashford showed intelligence and poise playing as a lone front man.
