Manchester United Football Club are safely into the last eight of the Carabao Cup, with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s men more than worthy of the victory against Chelsea.
It does seem as though United play better against the higher-level opponents – and to me, that’s probably because the likes of Chelsea allow the Reds to play a more expansive style.
Although it’s Marcus Rashford taking all the plaudits due to his outstanding brace, Daniel James also deserves immense credit for another sublime display.
After all, it was the Wales international who kicked things off by winning the penalty thanks to a darting run into the penalty area. On top of that, his sheer pace gave the whole Chelsea back line fits for 90 minutes.
At just £15million, James is already proving to be an absolute bargain. His on-ball intelligence, super decisions when it comes to making the right run and willingness to track back mean the 21-year-old has all the makings of an elite player.
Credit has to go to Solskjaer for taking the gamble on a Championship player and as expected, there was some backlash. However, the fans are now seeing just how good James is.
What’s even better is that the supporters took to Twitter in their droves to react to the £15million man’s great display vs Chelsea. We’ve compiled the best reactions here:
