Swedish talisman 'Zlatan Ibrahimovich' who arrived Man United on a free transfer from Paris Saint German has brought bright hopes of resuscitation and bloom to defaming Man United team, who has found themselves crashing ever since Sir Alex Ferguson departure in 2013.
Zlatan Ibrahimovich who only joined traning with his new mates at Carrington on Thursday for the first time, was once describe by a journalist as "half ballerina, half gangster". He weighs 98 kilograms, and he is six foot-five inches tall, the tallest of the United squad.
With the preseason friendly match against Galatasaray in Sweden, the prolific hitman scored in the opening first four minutes into the game with a bicycle kick which saw Jose Mourinho well pleased as his reaction from the touchline with his dearly beloved Man whom he worked with while at Inter 2008/2009 winning the Scudetto. The game saw Manchester United trashing Galayasaray 5-1 with Wayne Rooney scoring a brace and Rashford and Fellani making it five.
Ibrahimovich who turns 35 October has previously said age is just a number, and he is proving just that season after season. In 2015-2016 season he scored 50 goals for PSG including 38 in 31 league games. More than combined total of United's top six scorers.
The self confident, big ego Man when he was 20 years of age said only injury can stop him from becoming the world's best player. Reminiscing with those words of conviction, it would set out to be a motivating factor for him as he prepares for a new challenge disregarding the number attach to his age.
The new Red Devils Man has a spectacular record of scoring more than 20 goals in each of the last nine seasons. It's something Man United fans will be glutting to see the goals rolling to restore glory and prestige back to the club.
