da jogodeouro： Jose Mourinho passed another test as Manchester United manager on Sunday, overcoming Blackburn Rovers at Ewood Park in the FA Cup with a 2-1 win.
da dobrowin： Going 1-0 down thanks to a fine Danny Graham finish, United had to dig deep to reach the quarter-finals. Marcus Rashford equalised before half-time before Zlatan Ibrahimovic came off the bench to score the winning goal and send the away support wild.
The Red Devils were subsequently drawn against Chelsea in the next round and must travel away to Stamford Bridge to get a result.
That’s a mouthwatering prospect with Mourinho having to return to a once beloved place to conquer his old team if United are to continue their defence of last season’s FA Cup win.
With silverware still up for grabs in the EFL Cup, UEFA Europa League and FA Cup, it’s a critical time of the season for the Old Trafford side and the final months of the season could usher in a new era of success at the club under Mourinho.
The performance away to Blackburn Rovers wasn’t blow-away by any means but it still thrilled fans and they took to Twitter to share their thoughts…
