By Tom Hayward LONDON, April 19 (Reuters) - Chelsea have a squad brimming with world-class players but it is the tactical astuteness of manager Jose Mourinho that has given them a clear edge in the Premier League title race. Mourinho's side opened up a 10-point gap at the top of the table with a 1-0 win over a rejuvenated Manchester United on Saturday built on steely defensive resolve and lethal counter-attacking highlighted by Eden Hazard's goal. It was a vastly improved United side who arrived in west London on a six-match winning run in the league but they were blunted by Mourinho's tactical nous. Louis van Gaal's side enjoyed 70 percent possession and had 15 shots to Chelsea's seven but many were speculative long-range efforts and only two were on target.
