“It’s the most confident I’ve felt within the group in a long while, especially before the PSG game, as I felt so confident in the team. What we have been doing is very positive with the mentality going into that tie but it wasn’t our day.

”But we’re all very confident and we take that into training every day. The results have been showing that. Look, we can’t take one loss as a massive dent to us. It’s just a learning curve and we go again. “



Stamford Bridge has not been a happy hunting ground for United of late, but we were within seconds of picking up three points there earlier in the campaign, until Ross Barkley’s equaliser, deep into stoppage time, made it 2-2.

Anthony Martial scored both goals on that occasion but both he and Jesse Lingard will be missing in the FA Cup through injury.
