Zlatan Ibrahimovic finally reveals his kids made him to join Manchester United
Manchester United’s Zlatan Ibrahimovic celebrates with the trophy after winning the EFL Cup Final against Southampton at the Wembley Stadium on Feb 26, 2017. I would lie if I say a victory now wouldn’t push us for more, but at the same time we have to think of events separately. I look good. I know I look good.
It was a pivotal moment that sparked a blistering run of form that took Chelsea to the Premier League title – a feat they repeated a year later. “It’s nice to be for four months to have only one little defeat, and a defeat where we could have that defeat because it was a two legged match”, said the Portuguese boss.
Antoine Griezmann is another attacker linked with the Red Devils, while the club’s captain Wayne Rooney could be on his way out.
The Swedish global has bagged himself a large amount of goals this season, despite being 35 years-of-age, but if you are to delve into his record, he has more misses than any other top striker in the Premier League.
In contrast, speaking about Chelsea’s atmosphere in his second spell with the club during the 2014/15 season, Mourinho criticised the crowd for its lack of support. It was only their second game since the weekend of February 4th-5th; it was United’s fifth in the same period.
United face a critical week after Saturday’s early kick-off against AFC Bournemouth.
The rest of the league program will see United travel to Arsenal in May before facing Tottenham Hotspur at White Hart Lane.
The former United full-back was among those who had questioned whether the veteran striker would be able to cope with the intensity of the Premier League.
However, to Keane’s point, United have surprisingly struggled in big games this season. Then 2-1 changed completely the direction of the game.
Mourinho always knew what United were getting in Ibrahimovic; now the rest of the country does, too. “So it had nothing to do with the Champions League”.
Mourinho suggested that relief was most prominent among his emotions because he was “more afraid” of this type of final against a team who were clear pre-match underdogs. He shared that with the group, with the team and with the squad.
In fairness to Mourinho, he’s helped cultivate a greater fluency in attack compared to last season.
Despite his advancing years Ibrahimovic is seemingly at the peak of his powers with Manchester United and is showing no signs of a decline.
