Superb in defence at set pieces too
Yup, will mostly go unnoticed due to his two goals but without him we'd have conceded more from the corners/free kicks.
Not sure if allowed. I know memes are not allowed but this is a picture...? Please delete if needs be. Just thought it'd be cool to share.
We're going to be fecked when he leaves 
Doesn't do it in big games, they said.
Absolutely immense today, god I love him. So modest as well, the complete package.
Will his rating increase from 6.2 finally?
Funny to think this kind of attitude was almost unanimous among PL fans not so long ago.

Zlatan does not need an armband. All the players know how the captain of our team is.
Phenominal performance. Even without the goals he was very, very good.
Agree totally.
We need to "rest" him for at least 2 months. Replace him with a 19 year old and we'll be playing far better and scoring more goals.
This guy is holding us back I tell ya...

Which was pretty much what some posters (three in particular) were saying earlier this season..... couldn't wait to be negative about him. They're very very quiet now....Agree totally.

Which says a lot about Zlatan's season so far, he's almost beyond reproach!
Congratulations United and Zlatan. He has given me more good football moments and memories than any other player. At 35 he is taking over the best and toughest league in the world. What an athlete!
Zlatan is very very similar to Cantona in many ways.. I guess we can say he is the second coming of Cantona..
Can he become a legend after either just 1 season or after just a few?
Just goes to show what we can do and achieve when we have a world class striker leading the line. The last time being that one season of RVP.
Become?
This guy is just...phenomenal.
I predicted a 15 goal season for him and he's just blown that clean outta the water.

Give him a pay rise!!!
Why havent we announced an extension yet?
Certainly deserves a few iconic songs!
Still, he has to deliver a PL and inspire a generation of youth before he can lay claim to King Cantona's crown. He is doing the youth thing already, so if he can deliver a league title next year, he can rightfully claim the crown in my eyes.
Agree but without the goals there are a bunch who would have slated him.
Haven't seen a defensive performance like that since Vidic
Hopefully every other post on here won't be about resting him from now on. He's obviously a player who likes to play every game to keep his rhythm, and is trusted to take part of almost every minute we play. And it's fair to say it's working.
Does Richard Dawkins watch football? I believe we can prove God's existence.
He's gone from "past it" to "where would United be without him".
He's The Man! He lifted the team on his shoulders today when he was needed and you can see the way the rest of the players respond to him.

I don't like to talk about intangibles because they are hard to quantify but really he does bring something to the team that goes beyond his goals or contribution on the pitch. His confidence is infectious and his attitude must rub on the players around him.
He was immense today and to cap it off with two goals was brilliant.

What an absolute hero. To think we got him for free.....
We have Bournemouth at home next week, so we should be able to beat them without him but I doubt he'd want that, he'll see that as a chance to bag a few more goals
Yeah as good as Zlatan is Rooney at his peak was better.
Are you old enough to remember Cantona's aura and impact? It was so special, dramatic and inspiring. I still wear my polo t-shirst with my collar up!
It has to be one of the big 2: PL or EL!
He was even clearing the ball in our box as well, it was basically a one man monster of a performance.
Fingers crossed we get Champions league, I feel that's the stage he deserves.

This is the bit I love the most. Its so wonderful that he is bothered enough to also take on this responsibility.
