Zlatan Ibrahimovic's enduring predatory instincts rescued Manchester United on Wednesday, seizing a late opportunity to secure a 2-1 victory at Crystal Palace with his 13th goal of the season. Ibrahimovic netted the winner in the 88th-minute from a tight angle after Paul Pogba slickly threaded the ball through to the 35-year-old striker. Thanks to Ibrahimovic, Mourinho has consecutive wins in the league for the first time since August to keep United three points behind fifth-place Tottenham.
