Thrilled Man Utd Cup hero Herrera in pumped-up celebration with Sanchez after Chelsea victory
PUMPED-UP Ander Herrera had an adrenaline-fuelled celebration with under-fire Manchester United team-mate Alexis Sanchez after beating Chelsea.
Herrera, 29, raced over to Sanchez for a chest-thumping moment of triumph at full time.
The Spaniard has been tipped to become the next Old Trafford captain after an outstanding goalscoring display for the Red Devils as they won 2-0 at Stamford Bridge.
The celebration appeared to remind Sanchez that this is what Manchester United are all about.
Sanchez, 30, came off the bench for the last 18 minutes of the tie, with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side already leading 2-0.
United largely controlled the FA Cup tie against Maurizio Sarri’s poor team and maintained a tight midfield — catching the Blues napping with two headed goals.
Sanchez said: “It worries me, because I believe in my abilities as a player. I believe in what I am.
“And sometimes I’m calm, but sometimes I want to show it.
“But at the same time I’m calm because I believe in my ability.
“I think that a footballer that no longer believes in his ability, it’s game over.”
United have drawn Wolves away in the quarter-finals and face Liverpool at Old Trafford in a huge Sunday Premier League showdown, with Solskjaer’s men hoping to derail Jurgen Klopp’s title charge.
