'We Must Beat Chelsea,' Pogba Says Man United Ready To Revenge Against Chelsea

Paul Pogba is eyeing revenge and a much-needed win when Manchester United host high-flying Chelsea.

Sunday's Old Trafford encounter promises to be a mouth-watering clash as the Blues home in on the title and Jose Mourinho's side looks to kick-start their top-four tilt.

The United boss insists there is no added emotion facing former club Chelsea, but this season's defeats at Stamford Bridge clearly rankle with the world's most expensive player.

The Reds bowed out of the FA Cup after a narrow 1-0 loss in the capital last month, compounding a 4-0 league humiliation in October that still sticks in the craw.

'Well, this season Chelsea have beaten us two times and, obviously, we don't want that to happen a third time,' Pogba said. 'We want to win.

'Obviously they are ahead of us, they're playing for the title and, for them, it's important to win this game. For us as well, because we're playing for the top four as well, so it's going to be a game that's really important for each team.

'We have to be focused and get ready and show them revenge, it's revenge for us. So, let's be positive about it and hopefully go and win this game.'

United have gone unbeaten in 21 league matches since the October's Stamford Bridge humbling, but 10 draws during that run leaves them scrapping for Champions League qualification rather than the title.
