Watched alot of him play at the Euros where he didnt really shine but was part of a diabolical Sweeden side. He is clearly a skilled target man kind of striker who can finish anything that comes to him in the penalty area, watched a little youtube of his goal last season for PSG and id say about 75% of his goals were volleys, headers or finishes from direct crosses into him. It important that we use his physical power and technique by delivering quality into him regularly which was something we never did under LVG.

Really looking forward to seeing him in a United shirt next season and if we focus our attention on providing him with chances he will surely get goals despite the intense physical pressure of the prem, i think he will thrive.

Been a while since we've had someone with this sort of confidence at United:

The God of Manchester indeed! :lol:

The striker was quoted by Swedish newspaper Afttonbladet, saying: "I heard what he [Cantona] said and I congratulate him because I have always admired him. But he should know that I will not be the King of Manchester. I will be the god of Manchester."

Cantona had said, in a video for Eurosport, on July 9: "There can only be one King in Manchester. You can be the prince if you want to."

We try to do suits by measure that are perfect for the person and the way I'm building the team is more important for me with the players from other positions than the one I think who is going to play as the striker. I need to change the profile of the team in relation to other dynamics. The striker will be the easy one to finish the puzzle. (Mourinho on why Ibrahimović is not on tour in China)

No doubt Ibrahimović will be a starter… not just on the short run. Also, he would take the focus out of most players in training this first weeks, specially the English forwards.

Well, as a United fan, I'm terribly nervous. Have a strong feeling he'll either completely boss the league or be a disaster, nothing in between. Can't wait for the new season to start!

Fact about Zlatan. He has always scored in the first league game everytime he has joined a new club. Only once he didnt. That was in hes first match in AC Milan. So I predict atleast one goal against Bournmouth.

Absolute BS! So many times I've seen stuff like this. First of all, we don't get all the money from shirt sales. But even if we assume that we did, for us to get £76m we'd need to sell 1,520,000 kits at £50. Think that dude needs to be blacklisted whoever he is.

Mourinho specialises in this.
He loves having tall and strong target men in his team.

Under LVG, our aim was to score 1 goal, then sit back and take no risks.
It also didn't help that he put all his eggs into the Rooney basket. Rooney scored a grand total of 8 league goals last season (ranked 26th in the EPL).

Somehow, I don't think Ibra will finish in 26th place. ;)

This is brilliant, it could make a great chant with few tweaks. Needs to be shared with right guys who do the chants at stretford end.

plus that would just be revenue and not profit. Still rediculous the amount of shirts he could be selling
