The Sweden international has arrived with a huge reputation, but in truth his advancing years dictate that he must be used sparingly by new boss Jose Mourinho.
Zlatan time is almost upon us.Four weeks on from the confirmation that one of the world’s most flamboyant footballing personalities had become a Manchester United player, Zlatan Ibrahimovic could make his debut against Galatasaray on Saturday. The venue of Gothenburg in his Swedish homeland is no coincidence. This game was made for him.
But after seeing Ibrahimovic in United colors for the first time, in familiar surroundings and backed by thousands of his own countrymen, attentions will immediately turn to the Premier League season ahead and people will question whether the striker can live up to his self-inflated billing.
