Manchester United star Lisandro Martinez has sent a classy message to his team-mates following the club’s 4-1 win over Chelsea on Thursday night. The Red Devils won courtesy of goals from Casemiro, Anthony Martial, Bruno Fernandes and Marcus Rashford. And the result means they’ll be playing in the Champions League next term following their absence from the competition this season.

Chelsea boss Frank Lampard, meanwhile, believes United’s ruthlessness in attack was what ultimately separated the two teams.
"The clinical nature in front of goal,” said the interim Blues boss.
“We were the better football team in the first half - in possession, chances we matched them at least.
“To be 2-0 down is probably a sign of where we're at. Second half, probably a sign of where we're at."
On how he feels, he added: "Disappointed with it. We have to be better than that.

“It's the end of a long season. There are some technical details inside you have to work daily to do the standards things you say, they are a fact.
“Maybe with United you see there's some experience at both ends of the pitch that made the game as it was. It's a reality for the players."
He added: "Any team that wins or consistently gets results has them. Without them the tactics don't matter.
"Training well every day, trying to win, being a collective unit. I understand it's hard for the coaches this year at the club as it's a big squad and I've lived in that. Sometimes you can say maybe it's a factor but as a player you have to put it to the side and focus on your own game.
"Since I've come in I've realised some of the collective standards. We have to realise why the club is where it's at. There's definitely not a lack of effort. I was fortunate to be here for many years, you can be here the next year and see that someone has improved on their standards."
