Chelsea 0-2 Manchester United PLAYER RATINGS: Paul Pogba showed real quality but shaky Marcos Alonso was caught out again for first goal
* Marcos Alonso has been criticised recently and lost Ander Herrera before goal
* Scoring one goal and making the other, the real Paul Pogba has finally arrived
* Herrera kept things ticking along as United controlled the midfield
Manchester United's Ander Herrera and Paul Pogba struck first-half goals to claim a 2-0 win that dumped FA Cup holders Chelsea out of the competition and secured a place in the quarter-finals.
It was a measure of revenge for United, resurgent under interim coach Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, who lost to Chelsea in last May's Wembley final under their former boss Jose Mourinho.
Here, Sportsmail rates the players who took to the field in the fifth round clash on Monday night...
MAN UTD (4-3-1-2)
Sergio Romero - Double save early on proved pivotal as United went on to romp home. 6.5
Ashley Young - A typically combative display from the veteran. Lead by example at the back. Booked. 7
Chris Smalling - Missed with an early header but stood firm. Perhaps lucky not to concede a penalty in grappling with Rudiger. 6.5
Victor Lindelof - Brilliant block to deny Hazard in the second half. Another robust display from the improving Swede. 7
Luke Shaw - Diligent at the back and offered poise in attack. Slowly but surely fulfilling his potential. 7
Ander Herrera - Set the ball rolling with his free header. Kept things ticking along as United controlled the midfield. 7.5
Nemanja Matic - Held United's midfield together but lucky to escape a red card for two bookable offences. 7
Paul Pogba - Scored one, made one. The REAL Pogba has finally arrived. 8
Juan Mata - Not his most spectacular display, but the way he kept the ball provided United's platform in attack. 6.5
Ander Herrera kept things ticking along as Manchester United controlled the midfield
Marcus Rashford - A constant threat. His delivery for Pogba's goal was sumptuous. 7.5
Romelu Lukaku - Wouldn't give Chelsea's defenders a moments peace but didn't really trouble Kepa. 6.5
Subs: Sanchez (Lukaku 73); Pereira (Mata 76); McTominay (Rashford 90)
Not used: De Gea, Bailly, Fred, Dalot
Manager: Ole Gunnar Solskjaer - A brilliant response from his team after defeat to PSG. Seems to have the magic touch. 8
Referee - Kevin Friend: Kept a lid on proceedings when they threaten to boil over. 6.5
MOM: Pogba
