Anthony Martial gave United the lead with his 25th United goal, completing a terrific counter-attack with a cool finish after swapping passes with Ander Herrera.
Ibrahimovic and Rojo have joined an injury list that Mourinho hopes will shorten by the time United face Manchester City on Thursday in a game that will see them break into the Premier League's top four with victory.
"If they have a insane mentality like I have, they would (play on Thursday)".
Even if the knee injury does not end his career, it is hard to imagine Ibrahimovic staying at United from here: his wages are in the region of £250,000 a week, and this knee injury will keep him out of at least half of next season.

Although there's no date for either Rojo or Ibrahimovic's return United have confirmed that the pair will be missing for the rest of the season.
