Leicester City v Manchester United - The FA Community Shield
These three prospered in their first season with Manchester United

#1 Zlatan Ibrahimovic

Swansea City v Manchester United - Premier League
Superstar Zlatan was a huge success in the first season.

The towering Swede signed for United at the age of 34 years. There were a lot of question marks over the deal with concerns on whether or not he would be able to make an impact at the grueling English Premier League.

On his competitive debut for United (August 7, 2016), Zlatan Ibrahimovic headed in United's late winner against Leicester City in the Community Shield.

On his Premier League debut inside a week, he scored a vicious strike from range as United beat Bournemouth 3-1. On his FA Cup debut in February 2017, he scored the winner in United's 2-1 fifth round win over Blackburn.

A week a later, he scored a brace as United clinched the EFL Cup following a dramatic 3-2 win over Southampton. Despite being injured in the final quarter of the 2016-2017 season, he finished with an impressive 28 goals in all competitions and was the club's top scorer.
