Zlatan Ibrahimovic came off the bench to score the winner as United beats Blackburn Rovers 2:1

Manchester United defeated Blackburn Rovers 2:1 to progress to FA Cup quarter Finals

Blackburn Rovers took the lead in the 17 minutes of play as Danny Graham’s left footed shot from the centre of the box found the top right corner of the goal from close range assisted by Marvin Emnes with a through ball.

Manchester United leveled when Marcus Rashford right footed shot from the centre of the box found the centre of the goal in the 27 minutes assister by Henrik Mkhitaryan with a through ball during a quick break.

Mourinho then made great substitutions in the second half as Pogba brought in that final pass and Zlatan brought the finishing touch that was lacking as he slotted home the winner in the 75 minutes assisted by Pogba.

The result saw United meeting Chelsea FC in the quarter finals!
