Man Utd can continue taking confidence forward - Ibrahimovic

Zlatan Ibrahimovic was delighted to contribute to another victory for Manchester United on Sunday.

The Red Devils came from a goal down to defeat Blackburn Rovers 2-1 in the fifth round of the FA Cup at Ewood Park.to extend their unbeaten streak to six matches in all competitions.

Ibrahimovic, along with Paul Pogba, came off the bench to score the winner in the 75th minute after Marcus Rashford had cancelled out Danny Graham's earlier opener.

Zlatan told BT Sport: "The team did well before we came on, they worked hard and were a little unlucky to concede the goal but they stuck in and got level.

"In the second half it opened up a little bit more and Paul played me a great ball and I was happy to put it in and get on the scoresheet. It was a good team performance.

"We worked hard and we got the result and it only gives us more confident to keep going forward with each game."
