I love that we've finally got Zlatan over here, and I'm going to enjoy watching him. I just hate the fact that it's for United. I can see him doing wonders for them. He's the perfect striker for Mourinho too.

Early days yet.
Never doubted he'd start well.
We'll see how he's doing in January after they've actually played a few decent teams.
Don't think we're quite ready for the 'I told you so' after 2 easy games. And yes, after you've spent what they have beating the likes of Bournemouth and Southampton should be easy.

Seeing these two joke about near the end of this video makes me doubt the idea that this team is going to fall apart due to egos:

Unfortunately he is looking shit hot. I don't so much want to see him fail but I REALLY want to see Mourinho crash and burn again.

TBH I'm quite torn on that. Not because of Mourinho but because him succeeding when Fergie was dead against him, with a player who left because Fergie wouldn't play him being one of the team's stars, would stick in old Red Nose's craw so deliciously.

If Zlatan is there saying rooney is the boss on the pitch and "team first..." this and "team first.." that then I think you're right.

Tests always come when things aren't going so well though, so we'll see.

Ibra will find goals easily in EPL than any other league he has played in bar French league. In italy and spain, teams defend more tactically whereas in EPL most of the teams are tactically naive and always depends on individual physicality which certainly suits ZLATAN's style !! He will score for fun in this league

I had a bet with a mate that Zlatan wouldn't score 20 league goals. Not at his age.

It's not looking good at the moment

I'm not/I am surprised about the impact he has done stepping into the Premiership. He was really the big difference in the Soton game. Defenders in the Premiership is gonna have a hard time fighting him off on corners and free kicks. Immense physique

He has been great and will mostly continue to be great I would expect. He will almost certainly get +20 goals this season.

He's the one arrogant player I absolutely love to watch/listen to. The shit he comes out with, mostly tongue-in-cheek, is generally amusing, unlike Cristiano Ronaldo.

I'd also like Mourinho to fail, but watching Ibrahimovic prove a few of my mates wrong, who seem to believe that not scoring 172 goals in 2 games vs English clubs makes someone a bad player, is fulfilling.
