Zlatan Ibrahimovic does NOT fit this new rampant Manchester United side and may slow us down

And how can a player who refers to themselves as 'God' be willing to play a bit-part role at the club this season?

ZLATAN IBRAHIMOVIC lived up to his reputation in his debut Manchester United season - but I fear his second may not be as fruitful.

Only a cruel double ligament injury stopped Zlatan, who announced his return to Old Trafford on Thursday afternoon, from becoming our first striker since Robin van Persie to score over 30 goals.

Due to his crock, Jose Mourinho decided not to renew his contract but only four months after his injury the Swedish striker is now back much earlier than anybody expected.

It’s been on the cards ever since it was announced that Zlatan was using Carrington’s facilities to rehabilitate his injury.

A return doesn’t come as a surprise, but is it the right thing to do for Man United?

Nobody can argue against Ibrahimovic’s presence as an individual.

His cocksure confidence helped United regain our identity last season.

Players around him pushed their shoulders back and United stormed to a cup double in Mourinho’s first year in charge.

It’s been a long time since we’ve seen such ruthless goalscoring that doesn’t stop after one or two.
