Zlatan Ibrahimovic scores twice as Manchster United wins the English Foothball League

Manchester United wins the English football league as the dogged Manchester United 9, Zlatan Ibrahimovic who appears to bee the main man of the team scores twice followed by earlier goal by Lingard

See what Mourinho Said after the match:

"It's for them, it's for the fans. I take this because I've won it four times. I take this for me. It's the first one plus the Charity Shield. For the development of the team, there's nothing better than doing it with the feeling of trophies.

He claimed that he was right to be emotional – and said that the day football stops making him feel emotional will be the day he retires. Mourinho said:

 “I had my last one [trophy] here for Chelsea and it was as emotional. Winning is always special. The day I don’t get emotional when I win, that’s the time to go home.”

The Manchester United win over Southampton was balanced with the 87th minute goal from Ibrahimovic.

This was classic reverse psychology by the man whose appointment last May was announced thus by Ed Woodward, United’s chief executive: “Jose Mourinho is quite simply the best manager in the game today.”

Mourinho had spent much of the build-up to this final extolling the virtues of the English cups – even lecturing fellow foreign managers about their importance. Yet, in the moment of victory, he looked as if he had won a bottle of Blue Nun in the office raffle. 

But while Louis van Gaal’s successor plays political games with his players, the rest of us can at least acknowledge United’s recovery under his management. There will be those who say Van Gaal is still ahead of Mourinho by virtue of his FA Cup win last May, hours before he was sacked and Mourinho was appointed in his place. For Van Gaal, the FA Cup was a farewell present; for Mourinho, the EFL Cup ought to be a mere trinket on the road to a renaissance.
 
Some people would say, United are still painfully dependent on Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who scored two of their three goals, including the winner in the 87th minute, with a powerful thrust of his head. Mourinho and Zlatan are quite a pair.

One of the new manager’s first acts was to summon the old Swedish nobleman to Manchester in the face of grumbling about his age. Was a then 34-year-old giant really the shape of United’s future? Mourinho never thinks dreamily. He knew United needed an inspirational figure to set the standard for a squad increasingly accustomed to seeing managers come and go (and one, it must be said, not especially animated or determined).
