Two defeats at Stamford Bridge this season clearly rankle with the world's most expensive player. United were humiliated 4-0 at the Bridge in October before bowing out of the FA Cup 1-0 last month.

"Well, this season Chelsea have beaten us two times and, obviously, we don't want that to happen a third time," Pogba said. "We want to win.

"Obviously they are ahead of us, they're playing for the title and, for them, it's important to win this game. For us as well, because we're playing for the top four, it's going to be a game that's really important for each team.

"We have to be focused and get ready and show them revenge, it's revenge for us. So, let's be positive about it and hopefully go and win this game."

United are unbeaten in 21 league matches since October's Stamford Bridge humbling, but 10 draws during that run leave them battling for Champions League qualification.

The league leaders are 18 points better off than fifth-placed United, with the summer appointment of Antonio Conte re-invigorating the Blues following Mourinho's dismissal in December 2015.

"They have a great team and everybody knows that," Pogba said.

"When you're playing in the Premier League, you have to have a bit of luck as well but you create the luck.

"They have a manager who pushes them and they have players who want to show the world that Chelsea are still alive... Last year that didn't happen.

"But you never know, that's the beautiful thing in the Premier League. You never know what's going to happen. They've done good this season."

Pogba says the Chelsea players "know exactly what to do" under Conte, having seen first-hand how hard players are drilled on the training ground from his time in Turin.

Pogba's regard for the Italian is as clear as his respect for international team-mate, and midfield rival, N'Golo Kante, who won the title with Leicester last season and was shortlisted for the PFA Player of the Year award this week.

"Everybody knows that N'Golo Kante can run for 11 players - that's his best quality," Pogba told MUTV.

"He gets the ball and plays simple. When the manager tells him something, he will do it and he will do it perfectly.

"He's one of the biggest players for Chelsea, he makes the difference because, to be honest, when you see when they lose the ball...he will lose the ball three times and win the ball back four times! He's everywhere! He's a big player."
