Manchester United striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic says he is not ‘satisfied’ and has already set his sights on winning more silverware this season.

The Swedish striker scored the decisive goal during the Red Devils 3-2 victory over Southampton in the EFL Cup final at Wembley Stadium on Sunday.

The 35-year-old says he is targeting even more success this season, having already won the Community Shield back in August

‘Wherever I went, I won and I’m happy for it because I had a long career, I had a fantastic career,’ Ibrahimovic told the Manchester United website.

‘Before coming to England I could have settled down and been happy with what I’d achieved. But that’s me, I’m not satisfied, I want more and I’m still hungry, even at this age.

‘This is my second trophy with the club [after the Community Shield] and I’m super happy. I came to win and I’m winning. Southampton played very well and we didn’t play like we normally do.

‘But that doesn’t mean that they didn’t do good, because they played a good game. From losing 2-0 to come back to 2-2 is not easy also, so they did a good game. Congratulations to them for the good game, but the trophy is ours.’

Ibrahimovic’s double takes his tally to 26 goals in all competitions in 2016/17, and he’s in no doubt that he made the right decision to join United last summer.

Ibrahimovic, who now takes his tally to 26 goals in all competitions, is delighted with the victory, but admits that the Saints put up a real fight in their five-goal thrillers.

‘It feels amazing because we won the game. Not an easy game, it was difficult, it was a good opponent, but it’s all about winning,’ he added.

‘No matter how good you are, or how bad you do it, if you win, you do what you need to do and that’s the most important thing.’

Manchester United will next take on Bournemouth in the Premier League on Saturday.

The match at Old Trafford kicks off at 14:30.
