LONDON -- Thibaut Courtois has claimed Jose Mourinho instructed his Manchester United players to unsettle Chelsea with "fouling and kicking" and "mind games" in Monday's FA Cup quarterfinal at Stamford Bridge.

N'Golo Kante's 25-yard strike won the match for Chelsea and came after United midfielder Ander Herrera was shown two yellow cards for fouls on Eden Hazard in the opening 35 minutes.

Home manager Antonio Conte clashed with Mourinho on the touchline about the visitors' physical approach and claimed afterwards that United fouls had made it "impossible" for Hazard to play football in the opening 25 minutes.
