Old Trafford pals top the chances created table despite taking some stick in recent weeks, level with Liverpool's on-fire Brazilian pairing of Philippe Coutinho and Roberto Firmino
MANCHESTER UNITED duo Paul Pogba and Zlatan Ibrahimovic have come in for some criticism this season at Old Trafford.
Following the drawn-out transfer saga surrounding French midfielder Pogba over the summer - with Jose Mourinho's United ultimately sealing a £109million deal - it's no wonder fans expected big things.
Ibrahimovic meanwhile got off to a spectacular start to life in the Premier League, netting four times in his opening four games - before going on a two-month goal drought.

While Pogba's performances since swapping Juventus for Man United have slowly improved and Ibrahimovic has been back in the goals of late, they have taken a lot of criticism from fans - and rival club supporters, alike.
