Zlatan Ibrahimovic was Manchester United’s match-winner again, Burnley were tormented by Lincoln and themselves, and Arsenal need to pitch in at SuttonZlatan Ibrahimovic was the match-winner again for Manchester United and his late goal against Blackburn Rovers was another fine and composed finish to add to his season’s collection. That made it 24 goals in all competitions and the Swede has now scored in the FA Cup, Coppa Italia, Copa del Rey and Coupe de France. For United, he has been a stellar signing and there is a reason why the prolific forward can get away with statements such as the one after his midweek hat-trick against St Etienne when he declared: “Wherever I went I won, so I am like Indiana Jones.” The only concern for United is that they are perhaps becoming reliant on Ibrahimovic’s goals. Every team wants a scorer who can find the net more than 20 times a season but there is always the risk of an injury providing a major setback to their tactical approach. United struggled to craft many scoring opportunities against a side second-bottom in the Championship until Ibrahimovic broke free and slotted coolly past Jason Steele. But Ibrahimovic has now made himself king of the cups and United were toasting their talisman once again.
