Quotes from the Manager
Thoughts on the Result
"The attitude of every player was really good and with a different attitude we would lose, because I think Blackburn were a good team. They were better than Blackburn of the Championship. They had an amazing attitude and amazing belief. They gave us a really hard match and, I repeat, with a different attitude then I think we would have lost the match. So I am really happy with my players."
Well Played Pogba and Ibrahimovic
"When I have really important players on the bench then I can try to make an impact. Sometimes it doesn’t work, but it depends also on their mentality. Of course I spoke to Paul and Zlatan at half-time. In the moment of need they were more than ready to come with the right attitude for the team. So I am happy with the victory. We deserved to win. Blackburn probably deserved to go to Old Trafford but this way is better for them as now they can focus on a very difficult Championship."
Praise for the Fans, Referees… And a Ball Boy!
"We have amazing fans, absolutely amazing. I am so sorry that in the Premier League they do not have so many tickets for away matches. I think also the referees were so calm and cool. They had everything under control. The ball boy on my right side was brilliant. He is a clever kid!"

We are through to the FA Cup quarter-finals were we will visit Chelsea on the 11th of March.
This is the first time United have come from behind to win. We previously came from behind only to draw against 5 teams (Stoke, Liverpool, Middlesbrough and West Ham). Source - BBC.
Pogba and Ibrahimovic changed the game when they came on. Honorable mention goes out to Young, Rashford and Martial whom I believe played well.
Jose's substitutions once again save the game for us.
