West Bromwich: In-form Manchester United striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic believes the club's luck has finally turned ahead of their clash with West Bromwich Albion.
United manager Jose Mourinho recently lamented his side were playing much better than results and their position in the Premier League suggested.
The Red Devils head to the West Midlands on the back of two consecutive victories following a frustrating eight-match league sequence that featured six draws, one win and one defeat.
"We are working hard, we have confidence and we believe in what we are doing," said Ibrahimovic, who scored the winner against Palace on Wednesday to take his tally to 14 goals in 24 appearances.
"At the moment, we work very hard for it and we will keep focused. We have always had the belief and we keep getting more confidence from recent games.
"We all put in the hard work. Sometimes you hit the top and don't get the winner, like in the last couple of weeks.
"Now we have closed the gap even more and we have to keep going like this," added the 35-year-old Swedish veteran.

Ibrahimovic also reckons his understanding with France midfielder Paul Pogba has started to blossom on the pitch for United ahead of the trip to The Hawthorns.
"Paul and I talk a lot and we try to help each other," said Ibrahimovic.
Mourinho is again set to be without injured trio Henrikh Mkhitaryan (ankle), Chris Smalling (toe) and Luke Shaw (knock).
Right-back Antonio Valencia is available again having served a suspension but fellow defender Eric Bailly is set to miss after he was substituted against Crystal Palace with a knee problem.
West Brom will take on United as the in-form team outside the Premier League’s top six.
