(Reuters) - Manchester United striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic has likened himself to a lion after his brace in Sunday's 3-2 League Cup final win over Southampton took his goal tally to 26 this season.

Ibrahimovic has made more appearances than any other member of Jose Mourinho's squad with United pursuing further silverware in the FA Cup and Europa League, as well as a top-four Premier League finish.
