Chelsea's lacklustre fifth round exit - their first FA Cup defeat since the 2017 final - was another painful blow for Sarri, who is facing a fight to save his job following a dismal debut season. United are through to the last eight for a fifth consecutive season as they look to win the FA Cup for a record-equalling 13th time and first since 2016. In a frantic opening, Romero was called into action when David Luiz drilled a dipping free-kick over the United wall. Pogba was only just getting warmed up and he single-handedly ripped Chelsea part to double United's lead on the stroke of half-time.
