Exactly. This should be highlighted and taken into account. Only imagine if we would've had our fair amount of penalties this season. He'd be sitting at 30+ already.
How many of Ronaldo's 42 were from the spot?
How many goals will Zlatan score?

Thanks.
Where can I find those kind of players stats by the way, like how many goals were from the spot, set piece etc?
Loads of places, but Transfermarket.co.uk - Whoscored.com and wikipedia are all good. Wiki is surprisingly good because it's just so damn easy to go from team to player to league to competition and then to other teams etc. The inclusive links in each article make it so easy to navigate and the information is really comprehensive.
Thanks! Time to dig into some stats.
A lot since I took him out of my fantasy team recently.
I'm hoping he scores 40 goals. That's another 14 goals with around 20 games remaining. Definitely achievable. Ronaldo was the last player to score above 40 for us in a season. Who else has hit the 40 goal mark for us?
Denis Law
Question: What is the record goal tally for our players in their first season for us?
IIRC RVN hold this record(?)

40+
Wow! that long back. That would be some achievement if Ibra manages it.
No, I think Ruud had one season scoring over 40 goals, but I'm pretty sure only he, Ronaldo and Denis have achieved the feat.
38 going by the rate he was at before the League Cup final (assuming we make EL final).
Yes, you are right. He has scored 44 goals in the 2002/03 season.
Ah, cool, thanks
Ruud with 44 in 02-03.
In my defense page didn't automatically update.
Will be happy if he achieves 40 which he will. I'm more interested in whether United will depend so heavily on him next year as well - is going to be a huge ask tbf; our flank players need to chip in more - Zlatan takes away a lot of pressure from others - who have been average at best.
I don't understand how anyone could of doubted him, i mean i know he's getting on but his class was never in doubt.
As long as we gave him chances, he was always going to score. The only thing i was surprised with him is how many chances he misses. He could quite easily be on 40+ goals already without missing some of those easy chances he has.

38. Book it.
Andy Cole scored 41 in one season, 34 in the League...but not his debut season. Easy to forget just how proflific he was.
That was for Newcastle
35 sounds reasonable.
Oops - I was just a young lad at the time and just remember him scoring lots. Just rechecked and he got 25 in all competitions for us in one season so Ibra has already eclipsed that which is remarkable.Btw I think Ibra probably set himself a target of Golden Boot and 40 goals overall. I think he might get the former but probably not the latter.
Indeed it was, although he was a scoring machine at times, he never got 40 for United. Neither did Dwight, despite being seemingly unable to miss the target in the 1999 treble winning season.
Ruud
36.
This would have been a better thread at the start of the season though.

Said 40 last week and still think that is achievable. The games towards the end of the season, especially away, are going to be of much higher difficultly, so if he's going to get there he needs to take advantage of upcoming home games.
40. If we get past Chelsea in the Cup I reckon 42.
Ruud scored 44 in 2002/03 to equal Law's record. It would be mind-blowing for Zlatan to get anywhere near that Ronaldo/RVN/Law gold standard at his age in his first season in a new league
