Zlatan Ibrahimovic: The pressure around me is nothing compared to the pressure I put on myself

Zlatan Ibrahimovic says his determination to help restore Manchester United to glory brings more pressure than any external force can exert.

Jose Mourinho has overcome a bumpy start to life in the Old Trafford hotseat to take United on an impressive unbeaten run in all competitions, which extended to a 16th match on Sunday thanks to Ibrahimovic's late header in a pulsating 1-1 draw with bitter rivals Liverpool.

It did, though, bring an end to a six-game game winning run in the Premier League, leaving them sixth in the standings - 12 points behind leaders Chelsea.
