Zlatan Ibrahimovic's importance to Manchester United is undeniable.

The 35-year-old Swedish striker netted his 24th goal of the season for the Red Devils as they beat Blackburn Rovers 2-1 in the fifth round of the FA Cup on Sunday.

After the match, midfielder Ander Herrera touched on the contribution of Ibrahimovic, who came off the bench with fellow superstar Paul Pogba to see United over the line at Ewood Park.

"We know how important he is for us," he told MUTV.

"I think our manager knows exactly when he is important and when he can be decisive for us.

"And he did it, he scored a fantastic goal from a fantastic pass from Paul."
