Ander Herrera took advantage of Pogba’s wonderful cross to give United the lead, before Marcus Rashford produced a delivery of similar quality for Pogba to strike on half-time.It was a familiar tale for Chelsea, who dominated possession but, once again, failed to produce any chances of note in Sarri’s unchanging system.The manager’s job is now under serious threat following yet another convincing defeat at the hands of the ‘big six’. Sarri selected a predictable line-up and the Blues began well, but United grew into the game and always looked dangerous.Chris Smalling might have put United in front after nine minutes, but headed poorly at Kepa Arrizabalaga before Chelsea’s best spell of the game.Sergio Romero, deputising for David De Gea, saved twice in quick succession. He punched David Luiz’s free-kick as far as Pedro, whose volley was gathered by the goalkeeper at the second attempt.Time could be up for Sarri4

Eden Hazard next curled wide before Gonzalo Higuain headed narrowly off target from a Cesar Azpilicueta cross.Pogba was deployed on the left of United’s midfield and set up the opening goal.A flowing move involving Matic, Romelu Lukaku and Juan Mata – three former Chelsea players – concluded when Pogba crossed from the left. Fault could be found in a number of Chelsea players as Herrera headed in unnoticed at the back post.Herrera opened the scoring4

A second followed on the stroke of half-time. Pogba won the ball in midfield before feeding Rashford down the right wing.The France World Cup-winning midfielder continued his run and was found by Rashford’s pin-point cross. Pogba headed down and in, but Kepa might have saved.United were able to sit back and play on the break in the second half, but received some good fortune as Matic avoided a second yellow card.It was a familiar tale for Jorginho and co.4

Hazard tried to spark Chelsea into life, cutting in from the right, but his shot was blocked by Victor Lindelof.After one predictable Chelsea substitution, Willian for Pedro, there was sarcastic applause for another when Kovacic was replaced by Ross Barkley.“You don’t know what you’re doing,” was followed by a chant of “You’re getting sacked in the morning”. United fans sang it, and Chelsea’s joined in.More boos followed when Davide Zappacosta came on for Azpilicueta in a straight swap at right-back and there were more jeers at full-time as United advanced to face Wolves, giving Chelsea plenty of reasons to be alarmed.
