Zlatan Ibrahimovic again showed no signs of slowing down by firing Manchester United to a win over bottom club Sunderland at the Stadium of Light.
The Swede scored the opener half-an-hour into the game when he collected the ball on the edge of the box, displayed unrivalled strength to hold off Billy Jones and rolled the ball into the bottom corner.
His compatriot Sebastian Larsson was sent off in the first half after referee Craig Pawson deemed his challenge on Ander Herrera to be over the top and dangerous.

That killed any hopes of Sunderland giving a good account of themselves and from then on it was a routine win and display for United.
Henrikh Mkhitaryan struck a minute after the restart, before Ibrahimovic played substitute Marcus Rashford through in the last minute to make it 3-0.
Given what he brings to the table in his post-match interviews, Sky Sports unsurprisingly wanted a word with Ibrahimovic after the game and he delivered yet again.

The former PSG man gave his thoughts on the game, the fight for the top four and then provided a bit of goodness towards the end of the interview when talking about his incredible form at his age.
Zlatan has now scored 27 goals in 42 games in all competitions and when talking about the secret behind his continued good form, he came out with a brilliant response that only he would think of.

"I feel like Benjamin Button. I was born old and I'll die young".
Classic Zlatan.
Remarkably, Ibrahimovic scored 232 goals before reaching the age of 30 and since then has an exceptional tally of 250 goals - backing up his statement about giving Benjamin Button a run for his money.
