Phil Jones orders teammates to help Zlatan Ibrahimovic with goal scoring

Zlatan Ibrahimovic has quickly turned into Manchester United’s talisman.

West Bromwich Albion host Manchester United in the Premier League on Saturday December 17, kicking off at 1730 GMT live on BT Sport 1 HD. Had he converted those in each of those games, United could have been realistic title challengers, although the league is not halfway done yet.

The Swedish striker – who scored both Manchester United goals during the 2-0 victory – was under the spotlight for different reasons in the 25th minute.

“I’m feeling good. At the end I was a little bit exhausted”. “He’s the kind of player who doesn’t need to prove anything to anyone but when he decides to come to England in the last period of his career, to the most hard championship, I think he proved he’s a superman in his mentality”. Something else?

I am a ideal example of that.

“Rojo and Jones are tougher at the back, Carrick coming into midfield has made a big difference and they’ve got personalities and characters in Pogba and Ibrahimovic, so it’s better”. However, the Spaniard believes that they eventually can play together as they proved during the Europa League 2-0 win over Zorya.

Such is both the width of his smile and his influence on Jose Mourinho’s side right now that it’s hard to see either of them opting to go solo come next summer.

“He is doing amazingly well”.

“I am not surprised at all”.

However, after the game, the Swedish worldwide stated that while the media might be obsessing over his age and suggesting that the end of his playing days is on the horizon, we might actually only be about half way through the career of the great Zlatan. We communicate, we talk about his situation and his feelings. “It is a pity that not everyone can get one but for the ones that get it, it is great”.

“But as our target striker we can see he is the only one. The older I get, the better I play”. But a striker can not hide. Indeed, the home side have won their last three home games, scoring an impressive 10 goals in the process.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic just can’t stop scoring at the moment.

No, not manager Jose Mourinho, for all his moody prowling on the touchline, but the player he says is “undroppable” – veteran superstar striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic. Ibrahimovic and Mourinho worked together at Inter Milan, during which time the duo became extremely close as the Swede revealed his strong respect and adulation for the former Porto, Chelsea, and Real Madrid coach.

West Brom really struggled to carve out any openings in the second stanza, as United goalkeeper David de Gea endured a quiet evening between the sticks.
