Moses Relishes Manchester United FA Cup Clash

By Augustine Akhilomen

After overcoming ‘stubborn’ Wolverhampton Wanderers 2-0 on Saturday in the FA Cup round of 32, Chelsea will have a mountain to climb as they have been pitted alongside eternal rivals, Manchester United for a place in the semi final of the competition as Super Eagles winger, Victor will be hoping to dent Jose Mourinho’s treble dream with Manchester United.

Moses, who was part of the Blues side that scale through Wolves’ hurdle, has enjoyed a tremendous rise under manager, Antonio Conte’s 3-4-3 formation. Despite struggling to earn a regular shirt under former manager, Mourinho, the former Wigan star will be eager to spoil the Portuguese tactician show at Stamford Bridge on March 11.

Having defeated the Red Devils 4-0 in the Premier League at Stamford Bridge late last year, the Blues will be poise to do a double against a rejuvenated Jose Mourinho’s United side that have maintained a strong balance.

The Red Devils had to come from behind to defeat Blackburn Rovers 2-1 on Sunday thanks to Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s goal to give Mourinho some elements of respite after the hosts gave them an early scare.
