Best thing for me is, he crossed that ball to Martial even though Tony fecked it up couple of mins ago not passing to him, going for it himself. Zlatan didn't hold a grudge, which would be only natural imo, he passed it even though he could've gone for it himself.
 
He's just a born winner.

His power in the box is frightening. That's Morgan and Fonte absolutely embarrassed in the space of a couple of weeks.
 
If I have learnt one thing from twig over the years, he cares hugely about Utd and I have no doubt he will be delighted Zlatan has started so well

Bullsh*t, Twigg(and Pouge) is everything that is wrong with the Caf.

But being a noble gentleman, I appreciate the fact that anyone can voice their opinion.

Utter crap, two of the soundest lads around, even if we do t always agree
 
I thought Giggs made an interesting point regarding Zlatan's comment in the post match interview. Zlatan mentioned how it is harder in the PL than playing in France because you don't get as many chances but Giggs highlighted how he has scored two classically English centre forward type goals already. I think we will see a different Zlatan than we are used to this year.
 
I may be drunk. But honestly, I can't stand the posts these posters make.

One is a Moyes apologist and the other has "wum" in his tagline. I'm starting to see a pattern here.
What the feck is wrong with Pogue?

Anyway, Ibra, what a player. Already doing what we couldn't do last season: beating the smaller teams. City on the 10th will be a big test, can't wait!

100%, I think he will score more headed goals than he's used to, we seem to be sitting balls up to the back post for him.

Ability wise he's a fecking juggernaut!
 
I always knew this lad was class :drool:

Yeah I noticed that too, it was very pleasing to see this. I think Martial has struggled for end product in the beginning of this season including pre-season but he complements Zlatan and Rooney quite well.
 
Just find him in the box. Put crosses in, low, high, find his feet doesn't matter.
 
Beastly. He's made Morgan and Fonte look like nothing in the air. It's like having a Titan in the team. 6'5'' hard as f-k!
 
He's been exactly what we bought him to be so far. That consistent goalscorer to put teams away and make us comfortable in tight games or get the win to grind out games. 3 games in and he's done that in all of them. It just helps so much psychologically to have a clinical player up front. Give him a chance and he'll put it away and it puts so much pressure on the opposition to go forward after that and make up for it that spaces start opening up. We've lacked that like crazy the last few years.
 
He scores goals but his passing, particularly his backward passes, were very poor.
They are, but take note how often he underhits backward passes to Rooney, expecting a one-two - he's used to Matuidi (or Di Maria) running in behind him and offering him a passing option. Rooney doesn't understand him as good as they did at the moment so he starts running later then he should.

Not to say that it's Rooney's fault but this will definitely improve going forward
 
4 in 3, beast in the box and could have had a glorious assist for Martial, his all round play wasn't as crisp as against Bournemouth but he's such a difference maker.

Hopefully it will soon be Targaryan running in behind him. Think they will be a lethal combo.
 
His flicks, one touch passes were a bit off and he made one blunder of a pass that resulted in a three vs two situation. But that'll get better I believe and if he keeps scoring noone will care.
