I'm pretty sure he'll get more than 30 this season. Hes scoring at the moment, but it's mostly in singles. A player of his class, will definitely go on a run at some point in the season where the hattricks and braces on rack up.

Weren't they all done as starters by the age of 35? Scholes was being used like Carrick is now, since his last great season for us in 06/07 where he was only 32.
Not just the one last night but every single FK he's taken at Utd.
i suspect that the particular game that made me crack and have a go at him is also the same game that the coaches felt the same. There is such a noticable difference, it's no coincidence.He does seem to be getting rid of the ball quicker in last few games. Not sure if coaches say anything to a player like Zlatan. He probably makes a mistake and knows he needs to improve.
Such a snide little post. You've chopped off the next sentence where I complement Zlatan and then claim it's what you "expect" of me. If you don't like a different opinion don't take part in a discussion forum. .
You assume wrong i have seen him play many times and seen him score free kicks but i can't remember him scoring a lot of them over the years. He scored a few for PSG that i recall but not many, i suspect to score one he needs 20-30 attempts.
He's been on free kicks for us almost exclusively since he came and he hasn't once came close to troubling the keeper. He is woeful at them he just smacks them with little or no accuracy, Pogba and/or Mata should be taking them for us.
Zlatan has been one of the most influential players on the pitch this season. He's always good at holding up play, distributing, and always looking for a devastating cutting pass. I said earlier this year if he gets a few to hit the net, then we'll really start to roll. I think he's in the mood for way more and I love his combinations with Pogba, Mkhitaryan and Mata. Including Herrera, those 5 have such great touch and vision, it's fun to watch them get to know each other.
Yeah, we've found the right formula and it looks like reaching top 4 isn't out of equation, unless you-know-what happens.
I actually don't understand those failed trials. 4-4-2 doesn't work for top teams in modern football unless you have perfectly fit team for it. Putting Pogba in two-men midfield borders on misuse offense. That initial idea was bound to fail and it's weird that such a seasoned premier league manager came up with it.
Herrera was great in his first season here, second was a massive letdown and the present one I'd rate as close to 2014/2015 but not that good.
About Carrick, maybe Jose misjudged Schneiderlin and Schweinsteiger. Dunno, but sooner than later we'll need someone for the purpose of rotating our midfield veteran.

He has been good overall and now looks to be more well rounded than before. But he was horrendous for a few matches which you wouldn't expect from a player of his class. But I wouldn't say that was surprising.
A stat that gives a bit of an idea of his build-up play compared to the best players (and playmakers) in the league.

We can look no further than Rooney to see how players may not always be professional enough to do their job well holistically.
West Brom 0:2 Man Utd
Too old.
Clearly holding us back.
15 goals, 4 assists. Avg caf rating. 6.1.
He'll never make it in this league.
Won't even score seven goals. Past it, overrated, old, slow and shite. Could only hack it in the inferior French league.
Apparently.

That stat is Ibra in his fecking thirties.
The amount of people on here who said he wouldn't even score ten by the end of the season was ludicrous.
I know people think Zlatan should score every game because of what we are paying him but putting that aside....the fact he has scored 15 goals before Christmas in a new league at the age of 35 is pretty remarkable for any player
Fantastic half from him again. Well taken goal, and his hold up play is sensational.
His passing is driving me nuts sometimes. Some of it is so unnecessarily sloppy.
Commentators really want him sent off eh?
Right place right time finish. Got a head start with sneaky tug on the defender.
But he needs to be careful. He is on a yellow for the way he battered Dawson.

Now scored more than #2, 3 and 4 of our top goal scorers combined, yet still some aren't convinced.
crazyNot necessarily, just means we can't buy a goal to save our life without him.
Yes its crazy
A pass is sloppy when you have no pressure and you under-hit it or pick the most ridiculous option. Especially if you're positioned on a part of the pitch where the misplaced pass can really cost the team. A pass is NOT necessarily sloppy when you are engaging in quick exchanges around the penalty are and trying to be inventive. Especially when you have a line of defenders parked in front of you and and few more running at you to put pressure before you release a dangerous ball. I believe you're referring to him attempting a volleyed back-heel when a cross came in and the another back-heel to Rooney which did not come off. Both incidents took place in or around the penalty area. I look at it as a brilliant attempt rather than a sloppy pass and would have encouraged him more had I been his manager. He is well capable of pulling some of those off and we may end up have witnessing a gorgeous assist to drool over for weeks to come.
Holy crap.
Class!!!!!!!
Love him 
Deflected, but who the feck cares
where have the haters gone- Status
