If you look back though he missed a lot of chances, where he was key striker in games we drew where we should have won. We finished 6th in the league that season, which wasn't amazing. I credit him for making room for chances, his attacking movement was excellent, but Pogba and Mata gave him so many good chances which he missed. We only scored 54 goals in total in the league that season, which wasn't great for a team where he is the star attacker and dominated the ball. Some of the fault had to fall on him for that, since he is such a dominant figure, he must take the rough with the smooth and deserves some criticism for that.I remember the shit Zlatan got while he was here from posters on here. Slated for scoring just 28 goals, "any other striker would have 40+", which obviously would have been 30+ if not for the injury.
He was a proper striker and leader for us who if anything was underrated.
And despite claims above that he was a key player in the Europa League, he didn't play the semi-finals or final because of injury, didn't score in the quarters or last 16. United were able to win the Europa League without him. Scored a hat-trick in the last 32, but Cavani's 4 goals over two legs against Roma in the semi-finals was more impressive. United were able to win the Europa League without him. I'd say Cavani was more impressive in last year's Europa League than Ibra was in that year's.
