A thrilling game at Stamford Bridge saw Manchester United and Chelsea share the spoils. The Blues seemed headed for yet another chance win against United, until two 'CHIVITAstic' finishes from Martial turned the game in United's favour.


Here are Five(5) things ManUtdNaijaFM learnt from the clash.

1. ANTHONY 'IKECHUKWU' MARTIAL TO THE RESCUE

Another day, another horrible first half performance from the Red Devils. The Red Devils started the match with their 'anywhere-bele-face' football as usual, …

These are the five (5) things ManUtdNaijaFM learnt from the clash:
1. MOURINHO HEARD THE FANS' CRY

The boss set up his team like a father who had heard the cry of his sons; starting Pogba on the left side of a midfield three and playing Alexis 'Balogun' Sanchez on the right/middle in a rotating 4-3-3 formation.
