After a period of somewhat lackluster performance at the beginning of the season, the Old Trafford team is making an impressive comeback with a series of 16 consecutive unbeaten matches in the Premier League.

In addition, in addition to the army of "The Special One" Mourinho officially entering the final of the English League Cup, the Red Devils of Manchester are also taking steady steps in the Europa League arena when most recently they defeated Saint-Etienne, the representative from France, with a score of 3 goals to nil, thereby putting one foot in the round of 16 in this arena.

The recent revival of the Red Devils of Manchester bears the mark of the Portuguese strategist as he has built a stable framework along with a beautiful attacking style of play that reminds fans of the empire that veteran strategist Six Lex Ferguson had previously built.

The contracts that the former Chelsea coach brought in are proving their worth and are indispensable links in the way the Old Trafford team operates.

In defence, Eric Bailly is playing very maturely and helping the back line become more solid. In recent matches, the Ivorian centre-back has almost won every duel. He also, together with teammate Chris Smalling, blocked the sky in front of goalkeeper David de Gea, with excellent aerial ability.

In midfield, Paul Pogba is increasingly integrating himself into Manchester United's style of play. The Old Trafford team's blockbuster signing often intercepts opponents and neutralizes hot spots with his speed and agility like a real athlete.

Up front, Zlatan Ibrahimovic is still proving his scoring prowess, regularly scoring to bring about favorable results for the Red Devils of Manchester. The 23 goals Ibra has scored in all competitions speaks to the rapid integration of the Swedish superstar.

In addition to Ibrahimovic's brilliance, the signing of Henrikh Mkhitaryan is also helping the Portuguese strategist have more options to choose from on the attacking front. The presence of this Armenian midfielder has helped the Red Devils play more flexibly and beautifully. In addition, Anthony Martial and Rashford have always played explosively every time they are on the field.

It is the stability of the framework that "The Special One" Mourinho has built that has helped the Old Trafford team become a formidable force in the Premier League.

On the other hand, Blackburn Rovers, although a regular visitor to the top flight of the English Premier League a few years ago, had to drop down to the Championship, which meant the team nicknamed “Black Rose” could not retain quality players. Therefore, it is understandable that Steve Kean’s team is currently at the top of the English Premier League standings.

Moreover, in the last 5 matches, “Black Rose” only won 2 matches, lost 2 matches and drew 1 match. Most recently, they were defeated by the home team Sheffield Wednesday with a score of 2-1.

In the past, Blackburn Rovers once created a shock on Sir Alex's 70th birthday with a 3-2 victory over United. However, at the present time, the Ewood Park team is unlikely to repeat that achievement. Especially in the context of the Red Devils of Manchester having a strong revival under the reign of "The Special One" Mourinho.

With an impressive streak of form and superior squad quality, the away match at Ewood Park of the Old Trafford team in the 5th round of the FA Cup will be an opportunity for the Portuguese strategist's team to continue their "triumph" to extend the happy days for the Red Devils fans.
