Manchester United stars rocked up at their Carrington training base on Thursday in a fleet of luxury cars as they gear up for their clash with Chelsea.

United's players may have arrived in style and luxury for training but they will need to be prepared for a scrap when they face Chelsea away in the Premier League on Sunday afternoon.

Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Daley Blind, as well as injured duoPaul Pogba and Marouane Fellaini were pictured driving into the club's training ground on Thursday morning, fresh off the back of the club's 2-0 victory over Benfica in the Champions League.

However, manager Jose Mourinho and French winger Anthony Martial, who scored the winner in the club's 1-0 win over Tottenham last weekend, took a back seat as they arrived at Carrington ahead of a crucial weekend.

United go into Sunday's top flight clash at Stamford Bridge four points above Chelsea after their opening 10 games.

And Mourinho will be desperate to put a dent in his former side's title hopes with victory, which would see his Old Trafford outfit maintain the pressure on league leaders Manchester City.

One player who will be looking to prove a point on the weekend is former Chelsea midfielder Nemanja Matic, who moved to United in the summer.

And ahead of the huge clash, Matic feels he has nothing to prove to Chelsea supporters after the Blues sold him for around £40million.

The Serbian was a pivotal presence at the heart of midfield during his three and a half years in west London, helping the Blues to two Premier League titles as well as one FA Cup and a League Cup. 

'When I played there I always gave 100 per cent and we won two titles together and won two cups,' he said. 'I'm sure they respect that, but if not I don't really care.

'I feel when I played there, I showed them my quality. I don't have to prove to them anything. I just have to prove something to my new club.

'I am happy to be part of this club. I'm happy to be working with Mourinho. When I played at Chelsea I gave always my best to help the team but now Manchester United is my club and I will try to win there.'
