Manchester United overcame a difficult FA Cup match on Sunday, fighting back from 1-0 down against Blackburn Rovers to emerge 2-1 victors and book their place in theÂquarter-finals.It means that United continue to power on in four competitions this season after an impressive win over Saint-Etienne in the UEFA Europa League on Thursday and a EFL Cup final to look forward to next weekend.Zlatan Ibrahimovic was again the hero, scoring his 24th goal of the season off the bench to bail out Jose Mourinho’s side yet again. That came after a Danny Graham opener for Rovers and a Marcus Rashford equaliser.The man who set up Ibrahimovic was Paul Pogba, a partnership that has become a familiar sight for United fans this season, as this stat from Opta shows.
Manchester United have invested a lot of money in both players but it seems that ambition is being rewarded with some key performances and more importantly a team ethic that is paying dividends.
Mourinho will be hoping this superstar will be as effective in the next round when United face a daunting trip to Stamford Bridge to play the in-form Chelsea.
