Man Utd boss Solskjaer: Fantastic performance; Mata did job on Jorginho

Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer wasn't overjoyed with their FA Cup draw after victory at Chelsea.

Paul Pogba and Ander Herrera scored the goals for United on Monday night.

United will meet Wolves in the quarterfinals and Solskjaer said: "An away tie again after Arsenal and Chelsea but that's it. We'll have to do it the hard way, Wolves are a tough team to play against.

"The performance tonight was fantastic, our tactics worked. We asked our midfielders to press higher and get into the box and it worked. The defending in the second half was fantastic.

"Chelsea are a good team, they have their way of playing but Juan Mata did a fantastic job on Jorginho and we were absolutely perfect defensively. We kept a clean sheet.

"It is a massive result. We had criticism after the PSG game and everyone did what we asked them tonight."
