We wondered who was going to be able to stop the Mancunian machine, unbeaten since last January; since Sunday we finally hold the answer: the Chelsea Blues. Frank Lampard's men dominated the Red Devils in the English Cup semi-final (3-1) at a closed Wembley stadium and joined the Arsenal Gunners (Man City winners on Saturday) for a 100 final % Londoner.
It must be said that for Ole Gunnar Solskjær, the coach of Manchester United, the priority obviously remains the championship of England. After Leicester's heavy defeat against Tottenham on Sunday (0-3), the Mancunians will indeed have the opportunity to move up to fourth place in the Premier League - synonymous with qualification for the Champions League - at the reception of West Ham, Wednesday, on behalf of the 37th day.

By leaving Pogba, Martial and Greenwood on the bench and aligning a resolutely defensive team, Solskjær had not put all the chances on his side. On arrival, the Blues easily won thanks to goals from Olivier Giroud (45th), Mason Mount and a csc from Harry Maguire. Bruno Fernandes reduced the gap for nothing at the very end of the game. The Arsenal-Chelsea final will take place on August 1, still at Wembley (4 p.m.).
