CHELSEA manager Maurizio Sarri is under increasing pressure after his side were knocked out of the FA Cup in abject fashion by a rejuvenated Manchester United side last night.

First-half goals from Ander Herrera and Paul Pogba condemned the cup holders to defeat, with United progressing to a quarter-final tie at Wolves.
