Meulensteen warns Man Utd not to underestimate Chelsea without Diego Costa

Former Manchester United No2 Rene Meulensteen says Chelsea are still powerful, even without Diego Costa.

Costa is a major doubt for Sunday's match, although manager Jose Mourinho said the forward has "a little chance" of playing.

Meulensteen told talkSPORT: "I think Chelsea have got enough of an attacking threat to throw something at them even if Costa is not playing.

"Of course, if Costa was playing and he hit the ground running, you could put money on him that he's going to get a chance and he will probably score.

"But Chelsea have still got enough attacking options even without Costa."
