This is not another Ibrahimovic thread. This is a thread where us fans can show appreciation and let him know we're thinking about him and are thankful for what he brought to the club.

Ibra is perhaps the most genuine person in football. He's honest and straight forward and all that has earned the respect from huge clubs and names. Just seeing some of the tweets the past days have showed what kind of beautiful legacy he's left behind. Clubs like Milan, Inter, Juve as well as top players he played with are now overwhelming him with comfort. And all this love is shown to a guy who has a reputation of sleeping around with every club. I'd like to see what kind of man gets that kind of treatment from his ex-wives in a weak moment in life.

What makes him stand out is the fact he always loved the game. He's never wanted anything more than winning, becoming a star and play for the biggest clubs. He's brought success and charisma to every club he's ever played for. Even a guy like Messi felt threatened by his arrival.

The true side of him is totally genuine. In his early career he never exploited his own name to gain easy money - compare that to every other footballer who sits with Pepsi and kicks a ball every year on the commercials. It was only in his late career where he started making use of his name. Most of the adds were made for charity reasons anyway.

This guy is just full of simple humor, typical of a boy going to football camp. His private side is humble and I wish we all could get to see more of that side in a way. I'm so glad he finally found Manchester United because he was actually made to play for this club. Every single piece of his being is a perfect DNA match with the club. I think that's why he made such a huge impression on other clubs because they don't know what these characters are all about.

The fact that he wanted to come and play for Manchester United says a lot about the size of the club. He could easily have said goodbye to the highest stage and moved to China or USA and earned more money than any footballer on this planet. But he wanted the challenge - and boy did he show people. 28 goals in this league at that age. Absolutely insane.

I really hope he wants to stay on for another year. Perhaps there is something that can be done about the wages. Ibra brings so much to the team just by being part of it. There just have to be something more to his career than that. Some kind of coaching role. Something. A club like Manchester United would never leave a player in the cold after leaving such a mark. Mourinho and Ibra are as close to each other as father and son.



And for all of you who didn't feel like reading all that nicely written text, please - just show your support by leaving a little devil :devil:
 
Our Zlatan
Which art in hospital
Hallowed be thy knee
 
Posting for solidarity. Xoxoxo
 
Let's add the Zlatan filter to our profile pictures.

#prayforZlatan
 
Thanks for giving us your all Zlatan. Playing almost every single game can take its toll on even the toughest body. Get well soon!

Errrm, OK :devil:
 
Considering you created the universe, I'm extremely disappointed with your injury.
 
Can I just copypaste your rant about Jackson Martinez instead?
That's a good comparison. Zlatan came here to prove a point. How many guys are up for that challenge at 35? These feckers move on to china or USA. They cry about their body saying no. They make up excuses. They talk out of their ass saying shit like China being a challenge. Tevez is a nice example of how to make an opposite career to Zlatan.
 
As I show of respect I will replace all verbs with Zlatan

Dear Zlatan,

We Zlatan you all the best, it's unfortunate that you Zlataned an injury after a great season. We Zlatan you Zlatan back again to Zlatan for us once more.

Yours sincerely,
H.M.F. Choker III Esq
 
People need to stop with the "X: blah blah blah" thread titles.
 
It seems unlikely given the financial implications but I genuinely hope the club oversees his recovery.
 
Was memorable and your star shone as brightly as breifly amongst the galaxy of Manchester United memories....
 
Are you just vomiting crap threads now?
 
Zlatan Ibrahimovic, he is a Swedish hero
Fecked his knee, the OAP
He's older than De Niro.

He'll be 37 by the time he fully returns, surely he's played his last game for us. Thanks for the EFL cup Zlatan!

One which includes a champions league win?

Just joking, i agree.
 
Christ! We are talking about him like he's died. Has the severity of his injury even been announced yet? Based on footage of him jarring his knee we all know he's out for 12 months. He walked off the pitch, let's wait for a official announcement before the drama.

Ibra is perhaps the most genuine person in football.
SO it is another Ibra thread?
 
Lmao. He's been here ONE year. We're treating him like he's been here longer than Giggs.

Perspective, lads.
 
Nobody likes to see a mighty oak felled. Get well soon Zlatan. Do you right thing and have you haired shaved off and have it fashioned into a wig for Rashford to wear. You have no use for it anymore.
 
Get well soon Zlatan, it was fun with you around.
For future reference, knees only bend in one direction.
 
Thanks Zlatan. Can't believe I'm not seeing him in United shirt again. It was a dream that came too late and ended too soon.

We never forget anyone who made anything for us whatever its size is and you sure wrote your name in the history of the club with your goals in the cup final.
