He's had a fantastic career. It's comparable with Cantona's, probalby it's slighly better. But his first season with United is a bit overrated. In absolute terms, 28 goals, 17 in the league, is very good indeed. But context matters and it says that the whole team was playing to create chances for him and he missed tons of them. We scored only 54 league goals. That was a big reason why the team finished 6th. His biggest contribution came in the League cup final with Soton. Maybe we wouldn't have won that game without him.

Good luck at LA Galaxy.

No maybe about it. Best individual performance in a United shirt in a long time.

Well, you never know. We didn't expect Rashford to score 2 goals vs Liverpool after he had all in all 4 PL goals before that game.

Cup final to take the lead through that free kick and then win the game in the dying minutes with that header, a move he was heavily involved in setting up. His all around game was great that day.

First goal for United was scissors. Doubt he'll top that but it's Zlatan, so let's see what happens...

Legend. Shame that injury ended him. I think he’d of been great again this season if he hadn’t got injured.

Just seen that Zlatan took a 95% wage cut on the £220K a week he was on with us to join LA Galaxy, that’s a big lump of money going into next season.

First off, it's been reported a shit load that he wasn't on anything like 220k this season, not remotely. He was on a low wage due to the injury that was to be bumped up with appearance and performance bonuses, these never got triggered so he remained on the low wage only.

And are you saying that Zlatan is "only" gonna get 11k /week at LA? wow if so, great deal for them.

Of all his goals in United, I have my two favourites:
1. Header against Southampton early in the season. Such a powerful goal!
2. Header against Liverpool. So much skills in this goal. First the positioning and then the execution of a really difficult header.
