Mikael Silvestre is backing former club Manchester United to upset Chelsea later today.
Silvestre is currently plying his trade for Chennaiyin in the inaugural Indian Super League.
"I think that this game is coming at the right time for Manchester United but it's going to be a real test of character," Silvestre told Sky Sports.
"The players are slowly starting to understand each other a little better. The reaction at West Brom on Monday was a good one although they probably should have got themselves back into the top four after that game.
"It's a shame that it was not to be but I think they will get better. There are a lot of players in the squad who are ready to make their mark and who understand what United is about as a club."
