Zlatan will be useless even if he's free. Rashford has nothing to learn from Ibra as he's more a Brazilian Ronaldo type of player. And he's a really bad influence in the locker room.

Numerous coaches and ex-team mates have said the opposite.
 
In all seriousness - I don't watch Ibra enough in Ligue 1 to know everything about his play. Is he likely to have trouble adapting to the PL (strength etc I have no doubts)? But is he likely to be slow as feck?

"Zlatan was in my eyes, without doubt, the key to PSG's improvement. His fascinating character, his consistant excellence in training, and how he focused and prepared for matches were always examples for his teammates [...] When I arrived at PSG, I had heard of him as a difficult player to manage. On the contrary, I found myself a helpful, professional champion who was always focused on his work. Not only have I never had a problem with him, even better, he was often a great help to me [...] He loves being a leader, he was born with this attitude - he never avoids his responsibilities, rather he seeks them because they help him give the best of his ability. He is the most unselfish player I have met, and I consider him as one of the greatest current forwards, alongside Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo."

God you are talking out of your arse
 
The argument of using Ibrahimović's European Cup knockout record as an indictment of his performances vs Premier League defenses is so speculative and fail that you can't even figure out where to begin. Case in point - Ruud Van Nistelrooy, one of the greatest marksmen in Premier League history, who terrorized domestic and European defenses in the group stages scored a grand total of 5 Champions League knockout goals.
Van Nistelrooy always had a habit of not scoring the important goals, and in the knock out stage goals tend to get very important. The case with Ibrahimovic is very different, the trouble with playing Ibrahimovic is that he such a dominant force in the team that the team is in trouble when he's not playing or not in form. He has a habit of having a run of poor form around april. In a league, a poor run isn't usually decisive.
 
I'd love for our strike force next season to be Martial - Zlatan - Sane, that'd be nearly unstoppable!

He's certainly not slow, faster than Falcao was and just as quick as Rooney. Don't expect him to be anything like Martial or Rashford, but his movement in the box is better and he will hold the ball up, and pass more creatively than any of our current strikers. Not to mention having 1 of the best shots on a player, can score from anywhere around the box :drool:
 
How can you demand exciting football style from United without players like Ibra ?

Perfect man for the job.
 
You think this will happen? 3 forwards on the pitch at the same time for the great defensive new coach of United? No way Jose :lol:

Yeah I do actually.

With Rooney in behind and Schneiderlin + 1 as ball winners in the midfield.
 
Im actually getting giddy over this one, i admit Ibrahimovic can do no wrong in my eyes
 
Please be true, please be true, please be true.

My favourite non-United player coming to United is the stuff I touch myself to at night. I'll get his kit. I don't even care what number he gets. I'll buy them all. 1-99 with Ibrahimovic on the back, home, away and third kit. And a keeper kit too for good measure. And then new sets with Zlatan on the back, just in case.

Think that's the main reason people want him despite his age. Even if he can deliver a few moments of magic in the big matches next season before retiring, then it will be well worth it.

He'll offer much more, especially now when we're in need of that Keane/Cantona factor.

At Inter he played Pandev-Milito-Eto'o which is very similar. I wouldn't say it is not a possibility.
 
I'd be delighted if we signed him. Forget about his footballing abilities, first thing he'll teach the players is how not to be absolute cowards on the pitch and to grow a pair.

Was just thinking would it be completely bonkers if Mourinho was to make him captain?

I mean who else in the squad bar BFS can really touch him?
 
One thing guaranteed with Ibra is beautiful goals. Oh how I miss the long shots and net busters. Bring him in!!!
 
He's only ever been found wanting at CL knockout stages tbh. He excels in League football so as a backup striker, I can see him getting 15 goals minimum.

Hope we sign a striker in his prime though.. New striker in prime, Zlatan and Rashford as our three strikers would be perfect.

Yeah I totally see Zlatan agreeing to come here to be back up striker

Wouldn't mind it at all, he's a leader. Won't happen though, fully expect t Rooney to play behind him and be the captain.
