I know right. No doubt Ibra is getting on but he's still one of the best strikers in the world. I reckon he has a couple of good seasons left in him. It would be crazy to pass up on him.Are people still opposed to signing one of the best center forwards in the world for free??
Zlatan has played 180 games with PSG and I should have watched him more than 150 times in the last 4 years.I use a lot of stats because I have an analytical mind.
His stats demonstrate his consistency ans his efficiency. If someone is able to score 50 goals in a French configuration, then I think he is capable to score 30 goals (all competitions) in the UK.
He is the Super Star of the French league. Payet, Kanté, Giroud, Martial, Koescielny...have 'done nothing' in France compared to him because he has outclassed everyone.
Sure, his only one weakness is currently his limited pace.
I'm sure he will be very successful here because he is a unique player who defies the law of physics and has a destiny.
I might start to warm to Jose if he can bring us Zlatan.

Just in case you thought otherwise, I wasn't having a go at you.
Not really having a go at the use of stats either, it's people who use stats without any context e.g. without having watched the player. There's a special place in hell for those people.

You can get away without pace when you have his class and poise.
As others have said, this will be sorted before the Euro's in any case but I'd wager we'll let this week be Mourinho's and just as the frenzy is dying down announce Zlatan Ibrahimovic as the first signing of the Mourinho era. 
Watched i before but here i am watching it again hehe. Wenger at 28:30 lel.
I don't get why everybody is ruling out the possibility of Woody screwing this up...?

Nothing left to screw up mate.
He will probably find a way to pay PSG a feeI don't get why everybody is ruling out the possibility of Woody screwing this up...?
Oh I'm sure there's plenty of time for Woody to try and half his salary or something.
Quite a bit of talk about him not coping with Premier League - know it's few years back but he coped ok against England, whose players come from..... the Premier League. Has he lost all of that in last three years??
First goal - poacher, second goal - thump (and bends down to Cahill to say "you're a donkey"), third goal - free kick, fourth goal - simply stupendous.
A lot of the alternative strikers we could buy would have same potential issue of not playing in Premier League before, Kane will never happen and don't want Lukaku, especially for £30m plus wages.
It's been said before but getting him is a no-brainer.
Just saw this.
Ibra would be a great lift for the team if we can get him. Absolute quality in an area that we lack.
We lack someone with a bit of swagger and confidence. He'd be great for the young players in the squad and has it all to prove in the PL.
Id be happy with this. A big name player to add a bit of magic. No doubt there will be other players targeted as well but this could be perfect short term.
Some crap getting talked about him on here. He's big, strong and full of ability and his fitness seems not to be an issue at all. He's well worth a punt.

he'd be a hell of a lot more useful than rvp, falcao and rooney for starters.
But but but if we sign Zlatan what will happen to Wilson?. Wankers.
This needs to happen.
So it's De Telegraf and L'equipe reporting it?

I can't believe people are opposed to this. A big, strong, technically superb centre forward with an otherworldly ability to hit the target with any type of shot, and people are getting their knickers in a twist because he happens to be a bit old. It makes no sense. If he'd been three or four years younger and delivered a season like he just has people would be wanking themselves silly at the idea of getting a player like that on a free. Age is just a number.
The stuff he's pulled off during his career is just amazing. His post-career YouTue reel will be more jaw-dropping than Messi's or Ronaldo's. His ability to produce outrageous moments of magic is unparallelled in world football. It's time we brought some entertainment back to the club. Zlatan is exactly the type of player we need to haul this club up from the hole we've dug ourselves into and get us firing again. A Cantona-sized personality, and with the same skill and desire as well.
50 goals this season and people are sceptical. This place sometimes... Have a word with yourselves.

Hope he gets the no 7 shirt .... Im going buy one if he does
And that list of other forwards someone would rather have - Cavani's 29 and Higuain will be this year...... pay £40m/£50m/more plus wages?
Nah, I'd rather have Zlatan on a free with Martial and Rashford - they get to learn, some pressure taken off them and two years from now, they've got a lot more experience and be the main two.
Plus, the two years with Zlatan will be FUN!

There should be a compilation of responses to that unitedbhoy list.
Well i don't know for sure but i suspect the answer to that one is two fold. No other striker in France is currently as good as Ibrahimovic but also no other striker in france plays as a focal point for by far and away the best side in the league.
I doubt other strikers in France would score 50 goals but i suspect the majority if not all of them would score a lot more if they played every game for PSG.
Poor league or not though the amount of goals he's scored this season at 34 is unbelievable.
I'm against Jose but can't wait to see Ibra in a united shirt. As others have said, it is a no brainer. I'm a little surprised he isn't interested in a team in Europe.
The state of that fecking list. Lad should take himself out back and have a word with himself.
Cavani was signed for mega bucks and has been muppet material on here many times after almost cracking 30 goals in the Serie A. He plays for the same team. There has to be a reason why he hasn't had the opportunity to be the focal point up front, and the reason is Zlatan. He's still as good as they come.
Even Lyon during the period where they steamrollered the league for almost ten years running couldn't get a striker over the 25 goal mark in the league, never mind 38. You have to go back to the 70s to find similar numbers to what Zlatan produced this year.
The gap between the big 3 in Spain and the rest of the teams in the league is similar to PSG and the rest of the French league. 27 points from Barca to Villarreal in 4th, 31 points from PSG to Lyon in 2nd. Real, Barca and PSG are almost equally dominant teams domestically, and Barca in particular play some of the best attacking football ever seen, and yet Suarez was still only two league goals ahead of Zlatan. Ballon d'Or favourite Luis Suarez, that is. Same applies for Bayern: Dortmund aside, the league is filled with fodder. Four games less than Ligue 1 and La Liga, still won with 28 points down to third-placed Leverkusen. Lewandowski managed 30 league goals.
To pull off a goalscoring masterclass like Zlatan has this season had you can't be some washed-up scrub, regardless of the league you play in. And he racks up assists too. He's easily one of the best players in the world despite his age. That's more than can be said of any of our sorry lot.
Get Zlatan and spend the transfer kitty on further strengthening the other areas of the team in dire need of revitalization, such as the central defence, central midfield and right wing and let the new and improved team feed Zlatan with chances for a couple of seasons while we win stuff. Sure sounds a hell of a lot better than choking our way to a 49-goal season again.
@unitedbhoy that list is daft. You'd rather take someone like Ighalo over Zlatan Ibrahimovich?
I don't want him but if he does come I hope it all works out. If he brings his Ligue 1 form into the league then we'll be good. Ibra up top, Martial on the left and a new right winger on the right.
Some I haven't even heard of/seen but I love these two.
Cavani is quite evidently a far inferior footballer to Ibrahimovic. Pretty easy to tell given they play for the same team.
Ighalo
Another gem.
Oh yes, strikers like Ighalo are "proven goalscorers". Whereas Ibrahimovic ... I don't even need to make this comment look bad.
Quite embarrassing that this post just had to end up being the first on this page.
Ighalo, Gameiro, Janssen, Raffael
This is a gem of a post
Post of the year from unitedbhoy there
Just saw this.

I would take Ibra over all of them - by a mile.
A classic post
I have to ask mate did you mean to reply to someone else?
In my post that you quoted i said Ibrahimovic is the best striker in france and his scoring record this season has been unbelievable.
Your reply seems like it was directed at someone who was trying to discredit Ibrahimovic's scoring record.
I've now changed my vote from no to yes, anyone that loves the Fat Phenomenon as much as I do is welcome at United.
