#2 Zlatan Ibrahimovic is not at United to bide his time on the bench
The Swedish superstar arrived at Manchester United, having won a number of accolades across Europe and looks determined the stamp of his footballing supremacy over England. Despite being labelled as one who would bring depth to the side’s attack rather than being a constant starter, Ibrahimovic has already made 4 vital contributions to his side’s success with goals in FA Community shield and the 2 matches he has played in the Premier League so far.
His aerial prowess has been well documented in the past and it was time for Jose Fonte, a man who has been tipped to make the switch to Old Trafford this transfer window, to have a taste of Ibrahimovic’s abilities first hand as the Swede rose above Fonte to put a powerful header beyond Frasier Forster. For a man whose work ethic has been questioned in the past, Ibrahimovic has looked industrious despite being 34 years of age and looks hungry as ever to ensure that the coveted trophy returns to the red half of the city of Manchester.
Given his performances so far, we do not envisage that Jose Mourinho will be too keen to alter the winning formula he has inculcated in the side so far. All in all, its true what they say about Ibrahimovic. Like wine, he just gets better with age.
