Michael Carrick believes Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s “special” and “deserved” winner at Crystal Palace could prove to be a big moment in Manchester United’s Premier League season.
Paul Pogba opened the scoring at Selhurst Park on Wednesday but the Reds were staring down the barrel of another frustrating 1-1 draw following James McArthur’s second-half equaliser, until Ibrahimovic notched his 14th goal of the season and three important points with his expert 88th-minute finish.
Carrick, now in his 11th season with United, has experienced countless late winners in his illustrious career and the 35-year-old midfielder admits there are few better feelings in the game.
