It wasn’t quite in Fergie Time, but Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s 88th-minute winner in the 2-1 win at Crystal Palace on Wednesday was a reminder of some of Manchester United’s late, late shows of years gone by. And with the giant striker and Paul Pogba at the heart of United’s triumph it was a timely reminder why the club went big in the transfer market in the summer.
While Henrikh Mkhitaryan has come up big in recent weeks, it was Ibrahimovic and Pogba of whom much was expected among Jose Mourinho’s close-season purchases. At Selhurst Park the pair combined at the end of each half to give United three priceless points.
