Zlatan at United
A look at Zlatan's spell at Manchester United
Zlatan had a superb first season at United, where his 28-goal haul helped them win the Europa League and the EFL Cup. However, he had a serious knee injury in the latter stage of the campaign and that halted his progress. After 27 goals in his debut season. he made just seven appearances in the second. He then moved to USA.
United forwards
United look short in the forward department
United are short in the striking department. They have two regular starters in Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial. However, both aren't consistent. 17-year-old Mason Greenwood has been identified as the third choice. This happened after United let Romelu Lukaku join Inter Milan for £73 mn. Meanwhile, Inter have also agreed to take Alexis Sanchez on loan. The Chilean was a disaster at United.
Our take
Zlatan will be a major boost for United
Zlatan will add so much dynamism and depth in this United attack. He has recovered well from his gruesome injury in 2017 and has been a success at LA Galaxy. His stint there could end in November 2019. The manner in which he is scoring goals could help United. He brings in that wave of optimism and can help a young United side.
