Hull City vs Manchester United

Between 1989 and 1994 he was part of a side that began Sir Alex Ferguson’s gold rush, winning the FA Cup, European Cup Winners Cup, League Cup and a maiden Premier League title, before returning to the coaching staff at Old Trafford in 1999.

The French man made his first start in the Premier League for the Manchester giants after signing for Juventus and put in an impressive performance in the middle of the park. His salary is reported to be £200,000 per week. You can only play the teams in front of you on your schedule, and United have taken care of business against two teams that will be mid table at best, but most likely lower than mid table.

Considering the fact that United have signed him only for a one-year contract, Ibrahimovic is not one to sit back and let goals come to him.

But the evergreen 34-year-old striker insists United – led by Jose Mourinho – will only get better in their quest for a first league trophy since 2013.

Despite his good results in France, where he scored more than 150 goals for PSG, some experts believed that the Premier League would be too hard for Zlatan who will turn 35 in October.

Anthony Richardson looks at Hull City’s surprise start in the Premier League.

Key Player: Zlatan Ibrahimovic – The big Swede has been exactly what United needed in his opening two league games, he’ll be itching to keep his scoring run going and prove to any doubters why they are wrong.

Over the same time period, Ibrahimović played for both A.C Milan and Paris Saint-Germain – in Serie A and Ligue 1 respectively – taking just 156 league appearances to rack up an unprecedented 144 league goals (0.92 goals per game).

Stoke City manager Mark Hughes summed up City’s quality in his reaction to how easily they beat his team: “The scoreline was a little bit flattering for City but they are a good side”. Others might end this first segment of the Premier League season with more points on the board, but none have handled the adversity thrown at Phelan.

Probably the best out-and-out finisher in the world right now, this Swedish sensation is in England to treat football fans to one of the most memorable goal scoring shows they have witnessed since the last couple of years.
