Phil Neville believes Manchester United should look to capitalise on Chelsea’s defensive problems at Stamford Bridge on Wednesday after the Premier League champions were thumped 3-0 by Roma.

A double from Stephan El Shaarawy and a fine strike from Diego Perotti condemned Antonio Conte to his first Champions League defeat as Chelsea boss, in an incredibly disappointing night against the Serie A giants.

The Blues have to pick themselves up quickly, though, as they face a crucial Premier League battle against Manchester United on Sunday.

Jose Mourinho’s men maintained their 100% start to Group A to all but secure their spot in the last-16 and Neville believes he should use that momentum to heap misery onto Chelsea in west London.

And the former Manchester United full-back wants Marcus Rashford, Romelu Lukaku and Anthony Martial to be unleashed together.

‘Chelsea don’t look like a team who can play solid football.

‘I would play Marcus Rashford, Anthony Martial and Romelu Lukaku on Sunday because Chelsea are there for the taking. But it won’t happen.

‘At Anfield, Jose Mourinho was let down so badly by his forwards. They played really poorly and didn’t turn up on the day.

‘I was disappointed with the performance but he was let down by his players. Mourinho brings criticism onto himself sometimes with his attitude but criticism of him is over the top.’
