I wouldnt say he was better but he was certainly better in terms of being suited to Barcelona, and it was an absurd deal considering how good Eto was for Barcelona as well.I think Ibrahimovic is suited to the premiership and suited to our side, not sure he is suited to playing in front of Rooney though, that is the one problem.

All the good players have a huge ego. Look at Ronaldo. Look at the blond Messi.
I don't know what Phil Jones has to do with any of this
I don't, either!
TBF that's exactly what we need. Some players in this team need a kick in the ass here and there after all bull crap they've pulled .
Did fine but we weren't so sharp in the first half. I'm not too keen on seeing Rooney playing with Ibra in too many games. We improved greatly when we introduced pace. He took his goal well
I would think it was about taking Barca to the "next level." Zlatan has the technical ability to play their tiki-taka type of football, but teams always tried to stop Barcelona by sitting deep with two banks of 4. Zlatan was supposed to be the Plan B by allowing them to go over the defensive line instead of trying to always cut through it.
His new chant according to Pete Boyle
Ohhhh
His name is big Zlatan
Ibrahimovic
He's scored a debut goal
An overheaded kick
He's 6ft 5
A super star
He's got a pony tail
And now he's at United
We can't surely fail
Tra la la la
He comes from Sweden
Tra la la la la la la

Only just seen this.
Sheringham is too old and slow, Ole can't be a viable starter for us, Yorke doesn't have enough goals in him, Cole is too flashy and doesn't bring everyone else into play.
Mental.
You're doing it wrong, Olly. Where's the horrifically shite dance/techno music?
I don't know where to find that sort of stuff. Luckily.If you can't read the thread title, don't bother to quote me. I am not obliged to love your new marketing tool.

What about Zalatan as a #10? It's no secret he's best position is a striker but he is also a very creative player, strong, good passer and a thundercnut of a long ranged shot.
This would allow for some games to attack with pure pace, with a front 4 of :
Mkhitaryam-Zalatan-Martial
................Rashford
That would be a nightmare to defend against.

Remember the
Falcao.......RVP

Days. The early August 'Let's fit everyone into our fantasy lineups regardless of position' phase.

This post about sums you up. Have a word with yourself because there are people who don't agree with your assessment after watching half a game you trumpet! Rashford is a great prospect and we all hope he flourishes but you need to get a grip of yourself.
If we were in the need of an equaliser or a game-winning goal, I would try this.
Even in Tennis and Cricket (traditionally, well behaved sports) - the players these days show a lot of passion and pull strop when things are not going well. If anyone has seen Djokovic (best player in the World) play, check out his foul mouthed rants during the match, if he is losing. That's what it means to have a win at all costs attitude. Something we have missed during the last 2 seasons under LVG.
LVG wanted everybody to use their brains, playing and behaving like robots. Unfortunately, it just didn't work.
I want to see him all pissed off at this guy below:
It could happen.
I agree with this.
The problem is Rooney. He can't play in midfield, so he has to play as No.9 or No.10.
Funny how Thiago silva is supposedly the Captain but he doesn't have the balls to rein Zlatan in. If it was any other player, the captain would have to try and restrain him and pull him towards the dressing room but no one dares to feck with Zlatan.
Did he give an interview after the game yesterday?
"Sporting Mavericks: Ibrahimovic" is available on Sky on demand, half hour look at his history with interviews with himself and people who have played and worked with him. Decent watch.
Zlatan was even with above Laurent Blanc, he was truly PSG's boss. It feels weird to watch them without him and even weirder to watch him play for United.
As @kouroux says, Zlatan was the real boss at PSG. Thiago Silva led by example and by the quality of his performances most of the time, but psychologically he doesn't have the strength Zlatan has, and is a bit of a lightweight in some aspects.
When the going get's tough this year I think Zlatan will crack heads and get us back into shape. Can't see him letting us go through a rut like LVG did. Mourinho might help too
Well there are lots of goals martial and rashford scored last season that zlatan couldnt score.
He adds a level of versatility to our game which we've not had for a while. The ability to pick balls out the air like Zlatan can has been lacking since RVP's first season with us, and probably the same with scoring goals from range. Combine his aerial and goalscoring ability with the attacking prowess we already possess and it was really a no-brainer to pick him up in my opinion.
Indeed, Zlatan just seems like one of the rare breed of people who are simply born to lead. Not sure if it's been posted but Herrera has also followed Rashford in commenting on Zlatans leadership. Players are naturally gravitating and looking towards him. The era of Rooney finally seems to be on the wayne.

He'll a natural leader because he'll be one of the best if not the best player on the pitch. However I don't think he'll come up with ridiculous sentences like "Man Utd were nothing before me"
He's said many funny things during his stay in France.
Honestly, even if he got injured in our first match, I'd expect just his determination to get back on the field to be something important for our young players to witness and worth the price of admission. People saying he's got nothing left to offer or that Ligue 1 is his level are crazy. Hopefully he performs well, gets us back into the CL, and can help us in it next year.
Isn't that what he was doing?
It's exactly what he's doing.
Man Utd 0:0 Everton (Pre-season)
Looks like he'll be perfectly at home in the PL.
