Man Utd players given time off after beating Chelsea

Jose Mourinho has given his Manchester United players three days off after they beat Chelsea in the Premier League on Sunday afternoon.

With a week to go before United are next in action away to Crystal Palace, the manager has decided to reward his players ahead of a crucial period of fixtures. Romelu Lukaku is in New York while Jesse Lingard is in Milan as the pair continue to celebrate their goals that downed Antonio Conte's men.

United will hope to recover some of their injured players in time for Palace. Phil Jones, Marcos Rojo, Daley Blind and Zlatan Ibrahimovic all missed the Chelsea fixture with injury, while Ander Herrera and Marouane Fellaini remain long term absentees.
