Man United's Paul Pogba confident in partnership with Zlatan Ibrahimovic

Paul Pogba has praised Zlatan Ibrahimovic's movement after setting his Manchester United teammate up for a fifth goal since Nov. 27.

United were drawing 1-1 with Blackburn Rovers and struggling to find a breakthrough when Jose Mourinho introduced Pogba and Ibrahimovic from the bench after 62 minutes. And on 75 minutes they combined to produce the matchwinning strike.

Speaking to BT Sport postmatch, Pogba said: "I try to help the team as much as possible.

"When I see Zlatan's movement I know I can get the ball to him."

The world-record signing has set up five goals since joining United, all of them for Ibrahimovic, who now has 24 goals to his name in his debut season in England.

The former Paris Saint-Germain striker added that United are in a crucial moment in the hunt for silverware.

"We are happy with the win," he said. "We are still in every tournament. We will keep working hard, keep going and now is the decisive moment.''
