Ibrahimovic desire lifting Man Utd - Fellaini

Marouane Fellaini believes Zlatan Ibrahimovic's winning mentality is rubbing off on Manchester United.

The Swedish striker led the Red Devils to a dramatic 3-2 win over Southampton in the EFL Cup final at Wembley on Sunday and Fellaini feels his desire to achieve success is coursing through the rest of the squad.

"We can thank Zlatan because he's there at the right moment, he scores goals," Fellaini said.

"He's a very important player. But everyone has been in important in all the games. I have a good relationship with him.

"Everyone knows he's a great player that works hard, that he has his character and that he always wants to win, you see that in training.

"During games, he's the first one to want to win. And that desire to win is good for the team."
