How Zlatan Ibrahimovic is still setting the standards for Manchester United aged 35

Zlatan Ibrahimovic proved age is just a number once again on Wednesday night as he popped up with a crucial winner when Manchester United needed him most.

Thirty-five and still going strong, firing in on the angle with two minutes to play away at Crystal Palace. Three more points, their second Premier League win in four days.

United are eight points better off for Ibrahimovic's crucial goals this season, his 14th of the campaign at Selhurst Park making their trip to south London worth three rather than one.
