Zlatan would've played for Arsenal had Wenger not insisted on a trial before signature.

Zlatan doesn't do trials.
 
Ibra's a striker who likes to drop off and orchestrate the play, providing he's got runners in behind. Van Gaal likes his strikers to occupy the centre backs and make runs in behind, which is why it would make no sense at all to buy Zlatan.
 
Bollocks to the philosophy or whatever, who on earth wouldn't want Zlatan Ibrahimovic to play for their club, for at least one season? It would be a right laugh.
 
We should sign him and just win the CL.
 
Think he's got another year in him at a top team in a big league before he takes his final payday in the MLS. It's just a matter of who will take the punt.
 
Honestly, he'd be perfect here... Up front or at the 10 position, with Rooney at the other, they could get the best of each other, with Memphis on the left, and Pedro/Mata on the right. Would be quite good. Right now, as it stands, we're lacking a really good #10 I think, or at least those who are at their best or very good there, are also our best players/only options for other positions. Mata, Rooney and even memphis are more or less are only options for the right wing, left wing and striker positions, or best options. Otherwise, squad player quality comes in or just random youngsters.

Never going to happen though of course, but it'd be nice.

Im not sure this is the case anymore. Otherwise making Rooney & Januzaj strikers is a moot point.
 
He's a wonderful man, no doubt. Definitely think if he was on the move and Ferguson was still the manager, he'd be here already. Fergie always liked a punt on a player he admired, whatever the age. Larsson, Sheringham, Owen, he wanted to buy Di Canio in 2002. He tried to buy Shearer when Bobby Robson was manager. Zlatan would have been a vintage Fergie signing.
 
What is the actual problem between van gaal and zlatan? like, would they be completely unable to maintain a professional relationship for a year?
 
He makes perfect sense for us right now. We're in need of a top class striker to provide competition to Rooney, and since there aren't really any top strikers available on the market, this makes a lot of sense. He's not young and only has a year left on his contract, but at the same time, he's more than good enough to provide at least one quality season. The only real issue is LVG.

They can work together, but they will argue every day.

Edit: The problem is that they both think they know better.
 
This summer's Falcao? But less shit and more amusing.
 
This is hilarious so many seem to think Rooney is past it at 29, but yet lots of people saying Zlatan would be a brilliant signing at 34 :wenger:

He's older than RVP FFS :lol:
I wouldn't be surprised if a 34 year old Ibra is still better than 30 year old Rooney

Rooney is past it
 
Can't stand the guy but think he'd be perfect for us. A year long loan wouldn't be bad - wouldn't want us giving him any kind of 'generous' contract. But of course, it's not going to happen:(
 
I'd be so happy if we signed Zlatan, he's the one to get in whilst we continue and continue to wait on Bale to either want out or get kicked out of Madrid.

I've felt for some time that Zlatan was perfect for United but it's just never happened, bit late now but if we'd have signed him earlier he could have been a real icon with the fans...but maybe it's not too late?
 
I wouldn't be against having him here, in fact I would be really happy. We need a striker and he is a very good one. It would be ideal in the that it would be a short term fix whilst we look to bring in the next long term replacement for Rooney. We have a decent defence and a superb midfield, bring Zlatan and Pedro in and we can challenge on all fronts.

Him and Pedro and we'll be very strong. I think he could be good for a few more years because he looks after himself and he's a very athletic player.
