Zlatan Ibrahimovic struck two minutes from time to give Manchester United a vital victory just as it appeared they had squandered another advantage at Crystal Palace.<\/p>\n

The 35-year-old Swede slid on to Paul Pogba’s pass to beat Wayne Hennessey from an acute angle after James McArthur’s 66th-minute strike seemed to have rescued a point for a strangely passive Palace.<\/p>\n

Pogba’s assist repaid Ibrahimovic for creating his opener in first-half stoppage time – although Palace were furious as claims for a handball in the final pass and offside against the scorer were ignored by referee Craig Pawson.<\/p>\n

Pawson had a difficult night and United were angered equally when he ignored a clear handball in his own area from Palace substitute Joe Ledley after the break before Juan Mata’s shot was contentiously ruled out for offside.<\/p>\n

In the end, the frustration was Palace’s as Ibrahimovic popped up to secure a United win, their second in succession after beating Tottenham at the weekend, and one that had manager Jose Mourinho on the pitch celebrating with his players at the final whistle.<\/p>\n

Big two deliver for Mourinho<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ibrahimovic and Pogba were Mourinho’s showpiece signings when he took over in the summer – and they are starting to deliver as they appear to be on the same wavelength.<\/p>\n

Yes, there was plenty of dispute about both the creation and the finish for Pogba’s first but the pair linked instinctively.<\/p>\n

Zlatan Ibrahimovic (right) has scored nine Premier League goals for Manchester United this season<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

And they did it again in that decisive moment when the game was won, Ibrahimovic making the perfect run to profit from Pogba’s power and pass.<\/p>\n

It is happening more and more, as it did when Pogba created a goal for Ibrahimovic against West Ham recently.<\/p>\n

Two high-class players are in tune with each other. This can only be good news for Mourinho.<\/p>\n
