West Brom 0-2 Manchester Utd

Zlatan Ibrahimovic netted both goals as Manchester United beat West Brom 2-0 at The Hawthorns on Saturday evening.

The former Sweden international headed in a brilliant delivery from Jesse Lingard after five minutes then struck again shortly after the break.

The victory, United's third in a row in the Premier League, edged Jose Mourinho's men nearer to the top four ahead of Sunday's fixtures, which see Manchester City host Arsenal on Nissan Super Sunday and Tottenham also in action.

United remain sixth in the table, level with fifth-placed Spurs on 30 points and three points behind rivals City in fourth.

An unerring knack of finding the net and a medal-laden CV led to much excitement around Old Trafford when Ibrahimovic signed on a free transfer from Paris Saint-Germain in the summer.

However, few expected the 35-year-old to have such an impact, given his advancing years and the punishing fixture schedule in England.

But Ibrahimovic has featured in 25 of United's 27 matches this season and shown few ill effects, with his double at The Hawthorns taking his tally for the campaign to 16 goals in all competitions.
