It will be by the end of this seasonThat should be 35 trophies.
That might be a tad extreme, but I get your point.The people who don’t want him back are probably the same people who said he was too old or he wont be able to handle the Premier League. They were proved wrong.
Wiki says 31 trophiesThat should be 35 trophies.

I think he is referring to the fact Zlatan also won with Juventus.. tho Juventus were stripped of the titles due to calciopoli..Wiki says 31 trophies

Not Mata but Mkhitaryan. Mata plays on the right. Zlatan plays central.Can see Mkhi/Mata making way for Zlatan for sure when the big man is fit.
If we somehow play Zlatan as a number 10, I'm pretty sure Mikhi will be moved to the right and Mata will benched. The combination between Zlatan and Mata as our playmakers is extremely slow and will be easy to defend against. Mikhi adds some pace to the complex.Not Mata but Mkhitaryan. Mata plays on the right.

Very narrowed view. Personally I feel we don't particularly need him, his experience is a plus admittedly. I think certain traits of his style (ie coming deep toward the ball) is a negative and results in us struggling to break teams down due to the opposition being able to squeeze higher and the subsequent lack of space for his fellow attackers. Would prefer Rashford or Martial up top when Lukaku not available.The people who don’t want him back are probably the same people who said he was too old or he wont be able to handle the Premier League.

This isn't about ego or pace. If we are going to challenge deep into the league and CL campaigns, we need big squads with big time winning players who can contribute goals, contribute their wisdom and experience, and galvanize the dressing room to move us forward.Very narrowed view.

I don't think the goal is to give player x or y all the game time. Its about having a big, experienced squad where players can be rotated in and out as the season grinds on and players get fatigued, injured, suspended, have dips in form etc. Ibra's experience and talismanic influence will be a massive confidence boost both on the pitch as well as in the dressing room. Lukaku's presence means Ibra won't be asked to carry all the water as he was last year, and Ibra's presence means significantly less pressure on Lukaku to do the same this year. Basically a win/win for all.No chance Ibra will get regular game time if Lukaku keeps up this form. Strikers don’t have to work as hard either, Lukaku will start most games until the end of the season.
Indeed. Mourinho will be simultaneously hoping for Lukaku's form to continue as well as praying for Ibra to come back ASAP. The squad will benefit massively to have a proven winner, champion and leader. It could well prove to be the difference in us winning silverware this season or not.I don't think the goal is to give player x or y all the game time.

Except I can imagine Ibra, even at his age, will be wanting more game time. Maybe that’ll be a good thing for the strikers in terms of competition, but hopefully it doesn’t turn Ibra’s charismatic, positive influence in the dressing room into something else. Sometimes too many big egos can be too much, just look at PSG or R. Madrid (at times).I don't think the goal is to give player x or y all the game time.
