MOTM so far. Not only scoring two goals, but has played some real nice stuff in build up as well.

And how we have missed those.
Just be thankful he's actually hitting the target.
Really important goals for him. Now we need him to go on a proper run, and make up for the points lost as a result of his poor run!
Who. Cares?
The main difference between Burnley, Stoke and today: Zlatan scores.
Great to see him get his confidence back. I was worried midweek seeing him layoff around the box instead of shoot from range. Thought he'd lost his belief.
That belief is clearly back.

Well, that was needed after caf declared him dead and gone.
He obviously isn't world class anymore but his finishing was consistent enough in the last decade to know that it was just an unlucky spell and not an issue with his quality. And him and Pogba will win us lots of games with their individual brilliance, even if it will be mostly against the inferior sides.

Obviously he's gotten younger over the last few days...
Good post. He's been playing well but missing chances, absolutely instrumental in our good build up and chance creation. Hope these goals give him the boost and bring some luck in front of goal.
This game here is potentially the best offensive performance from a player in the last three years.
Good performance thus far, I hope he can keep it up but we shouldn't get carried away- Swansea are rubbish.
Some of his touches have been just superb.
Suspended for the Arsenal game.
Well, maybe we can have a go at Arsenal with Fergie's old recipe then, with him out?
Meh. Never been a big game player anyway so feck it. If we go with Martial top against Arse it could be a blessing in disguise.
Not bothered tbh, we are a better side with pace up top.
Did he kick out at Fer?
But we won't.
I don't get this. We will lose out on our build-up play without Zlatan. People think that just comes automatically.
His build up play has been absolutely diabolical in the main. It's all well and good looking decent today against the 2nd worst side in the league. Basing him on his overall performances so far I don't see his suspension as a huge negative, not against Arsenal who can be got at with pace centrally.
Of course Zlatan has to take his responsibility as well, but I find it naive from the ”pedantic” and ”tactical” Mourinho that he didn’t sub Zlatan or Pogba. Also considering the amount of minutes they’ve got under their belts.
Diabolical? Let's agree to disagree. Martial and Rashford have been at least as poor this season, but hopefully they or Rooney will show up against Arsenal.
Not diabolical, but absolutely diabolical. Ya once Rooney isn't in the 9 position against Arsenal, if that happens we're fecked.
6 goals in 11 PL games and people have been doubting him...
Good performance, so pleased for him to be back amongst the goals.
Gutting he's missing the Arsenal game, i'm going up for that game!
Really hoped Pogba wasn't going to do similar, can't believe we only subbed him with 20 secs to go!

Was class today.
Shame about that stupid yellow and the suspension though. Why on earth did not Jose sub him

Was very good, looked like the Zlatan from France
Gets himself into form and then get himself banned . #HeDoesWhatHeWants
His best game for us. Shame about the yellow card, think it was very harsh from the ref.
No game for 2,5 weeks now for him. Too much rest that.

His build up game has been very good all along. Good that he got his scoring boots on today as well!
He'll probably still start against Arsenal. Ban or not. Because Zlatan.
Never doubted the goals would come. Might not be the worst thing in the world that he is banned for the Arsenal match. Will allow the manager to set us up to play on the break, although I'm not convinced with either Martial or Rashford at centre forward.
Good that he got two goals but I felt he still was too lackadaisical with the ball in good positions.
Needed those goals.
Zlatan on the yellow card..
"I thought we play in England, no? We play rough in England, that's what I heard. Every time I play rough I get a yellow card. I don't know why he(ref) gave me a yellow card, maybe I was too tired to hear what he said"

GOD of Manchester !!
Just as he has for a while now, he was good in open play. The only real difference today was that he scored twice.
But that is a big one though, and basically sealed the game for us.
That pass to Juan Mata in the first half was just unreal.

He needed them badly
