Mourinho bemoans 'bad luck' at referee Oliver's hands as Man Utd slip out of FA Cup

The Red Devils are yet to win in four games under the control of the Premier League match official this season, a fact not lost on their manager

Jose Mourinho bemoaned Manchester United's "bad luck" at the hands of referee Michael Oliver after Ander Herrera's dismissal hampered their FA Cup defeat to Chelsea.

N'Golo Kante's ripping strike in the second half secured the Blues a 1-0 victory, but the holders were already a man short after Herrera collected a second yellow card for a foul on Eden Hazard in the 35th minute.

United have failed to win any of the four games in which Oliver has controlled them this season.
