Zlatan Ibrahimovic a d'ores et déjà laissé sa petite empreinte dans l'histoire des Red Devils avec un doublé décisif pour sa première finale sur le sol anglais. L'ex-Parisien a largement contribué au succès de Manchester United qui a soulevé ce dimanche à Wembley sa cinquième Coupe de la Ligue, aux dépens de Southampton (3-2). Auteurs du premier et du dernier but de la rencontre, l'attaquant suédois a été précieux pour gommer les lacunes qui ont vu les Saints revenir à égalité alors que Jesse Lingard (38e) pensait avoir mis à l'abri le club mancunien. Mais le doublé du redoutable Manolo Gabbiadini (45e et 48e) a été insuffisant pour la valeureuse équipe de Claude Puel.


L'impression d'ensemble de cette finale laissera un goût amer aux supporters des Saints, frustrés de rester bloqués à un trophée au palmarès, la FA Cup 1976. Après cette finale disputée avec une haute intensité de bout en bout, Southampton peut s'en vouloir d'avoir manqué de réalisme sur ses temps forts. Percutant dans les couloirs avec leurs deux binômes (Bertrand et Redmond à gauche, Cédric et Ward-Prowse à droite), les Saints ont forcé les latéraux mancuniens à ne pas trop prendre de risques, un peu contre-nature.


Southampton were the better side for most of this final but were left heartbroken by a controversial offside decision - and the inspiration provided by the 35-year-old Swede as he took his tally to 26 goals this season. Saints' striker Manolo Gabbiadini saw a goal contentiously ruled out before United took an undeserved two-goal lead through Ibrahimovic's superb 19th minute free-kick and Jesse Lingard's measured finish seven minutes before the interval. Southampton, as their performance merited, were on terms with two predatory strikes from Gabbiadini either side of half-time. Oriel Romeu hit the woodwork before Ibrahimovic stole in on Ander Herrera's cross three minutes from time to give United a victory that looked beyond them for long spells.


Mourinho was a subdued figure throughout this final - perhaps unable to disguise his discontent at what was a wretched performance by United for the most part at Wembley. Inside, however, he will be ecstatic at holding silverware aloft once more, making himself a success with United in his first season at Old Trafford and performing the same trick he used at Chelsea to ease any pressure on himself and reassure supporters they have a winner at the helm.Mourinho made it his business to target this trophy in his first season at Chelsea, beating Liverpool in the 2005 final, and it was his first success in his second spell at Stamford Bridge as Spurs were beaten here at Wembley in the 2015 final. 


He is now level with Sir Alex Ferguson and Brian Clough as the most successful manager in the League Cup after his fourth triumph and takes another step on the road to rehabilitation after his sacking at Chelsea last season. He had a warm, sympathetic exchange with his Southampton counterpart Claude Puel at the final whistle, the realist Mourinho probably realising United were outplayed for large portions of a highly entertaining final. It will not mention that in the record books, though. Mourinho is back among the silverware as this serial winner puts his name on United's honours board.
