Manchester United aimed to achieve back to back wins after a considerable amount of time as they traveled to Selhurst Park to face Crystal Palace.
The Red Devils took the lead with the last kick of the first-half as Zlatan set up Pogba inside the box. United lost their lead in the second half despite being largely dominant but a late goal by Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who was set up brilliantly by Paul Pogba, ensured a win for the Red Devils.

United fans took over Twitter and could not stop raving about Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Paul Pogba.
Someone tell me how zlatan can do this at the age of 35 and to make that run and score that on his weaker foot world class mate

Pogba World Class, Zlatan World Class, Carrick is Beautiful.

Pogba game changer. Receives in a non-threatening area. Bodied Cabaye then played a perfect pass to Zlatan. Glimpse of his top level.

Truth is, I didn’t expect Zlatan to get more than 12goals this season. Man is a genius sha

All the farming done by Zlatan in some of the home games is finally starting to bear some fruits

Forget the transfer fee. Paul Pogba is a class act. Not his issue that he is the world most expensive player.. that is someone else problems

Pogba has quietly become one of the best players in the league after his slow start. Good for him.

Pogba 1 Goal 1 Assist
If that performance was by Ozil, Arsenal fans would be in A&E with broken wrists.

This kind of perfomance is the second reason we bought Pogba. The first one is that we could.
— Nikos Pappas (@nikos1977) December 14, 2016
Pogba the difference. He’s on another level to any other midfielder in the Premier League. Sensational.
— Manć (@MUFCWRITER) December 14, 2016
Pogba is silky smooth. A goal and an assist tonight. Took a bit of time to settle, as everyone does, but he’s playing on a top-tier level.
— Liam Canning (@LiamPaulCanning) December 14, 2016
If you actually watch football, and not just read Twitter, you’ll have realised that Paul Pogba has been absolutely excellent. Class player.

Pogba’s ‘just a dab-merchant.’ As well as being the most prodigiously talented, wonderful-to-watch footballer United have had since Ronaldo.
— pauliegunn (@PaulGunning1) December 14, 2016
If you can’t see Pogba will be the best midfielder in the world within two years your eyes are painted on. Absolute machine.

The Red Devils’ faithfuls did not stop there as they blasted the refs for flagging Juan Mata’s goal as offside while turning down what looked like a legit penalty shout.
Rojo’s red card, Ibra handball/Pogba offside, Ledley blatant handball, Juan Mata’s disallowed onside goal.
Premier League officiating…

Juan Mata clearly onside! Shocking decision #MUFC pic.twitter.com/m5iFf6Fbzi

1. High foot tackle on Bailly
2. Mata’s disallowed goal
3. Handball by Palaceall goes unnoticed

He got Utd’s goal wrong, got the handball wrong, got the offside wrong, referees deciding the outcome of a game is unacceptable
