Manchester United needed a second half goal from Zlatan Ibrahimovic to defeat a spirited Blackburn Rovers side in the FA Cup. The win saw Jose Mourinho’s men move into the quarter-finals of the competition they won last time around but the game was a tough one for the away side.
Blackburn took the lead through Danny Graham before Marcus Rashford scored to level the game. It took the combination of substitutes Paul Pogba and Zlatan Ibrahimovic to win the game, even though the home side had a few chances of their own.
With United facing Chelsea in the quarter-finals, and Twitter going insane, we share the best reactions from the game and the quarter-final lineup.
7 – Manchester United have won seven of their last nine FA Cup ties v Chelsea, but have lost the last two (2007 Final, R6 in 2013). History.

19th February and Jose Mourinho has us still competing in 4 competitions. He’s definitely got Manchester United back where we belong.
