#2 Zlatan Ibrahimovic

United fans will hope to see Zlatan replicate his last season’s form

This man needs no introduction. It’s a luxury for any team to have someone like him in their team. The Swedish striker was out of contract at PSG last season, and his former manager from his days at Inter, Jose Mourinho, persuaded him to come to Manchester.

A free agent and a top player, he amassed 50 goals in 51 matches for PSG last season. It can be safely said that United have acquired a proven goalscorer to solve their striking problems.

It may be argued that at 34, he is past his prime and a weekly wage of £200,000 is on the higher side. But the kind of form he is in and the lack of a talisman up front for United makes him a perfect fit.

His record across the various leagues that he had played in is mindblowing - winning a trophy each year since 2001. His dynamic attitude and goal scoring ability from unexpected positions will be a treat to watch for United and EPL fans.

He has started his career remarkably well in England and has already scored important goals.

Rating: 9/10
