Premier League: Everton 1-1 Manchester United - 4th December 2016
Cracking finish.
Cracking finish.
During the media briefing, the manager was also asked if it is impossible to leave 35-year-old Zlatan Ibrahimovic out of the team after scoring eight goals in as many matches, despite his advancing years.
“It is, it is," Mourinho told reporters. "But tomorrow is a last effort, and then they will have a week without football and that week is a week that my players need, especially a guy like him.
"He’s a striker and sometimes, in other positions, you can hide yourself a little bit more and protect yourself with experience and position. As a striker, I think it’s one of the impossible positions where you can hide. He’s doing phenomenal, and tomorrow he’s going to play again, and then one week to rest.”
Manchester Utd's last seven goals: Mkhitaryan (assist Zlatan), Zlatan, Blind (assist Zlatan), Zlatan, Zlatan, Zlatan, Pogba (assist Zlatan).
Magic.
Fair play to the man, not a great game from him but not many thought he'd play 180 mins in the last 2 games. Probably needs a rest now.

He looks tired. He shouldn't be involved against Hull and possibly only on the bench against Wigan. There's an international break in a month which will help.
