Doubts were raised over Manchester United’s wisdom when they signed Zlatan Ibrahimovic this summer.
Although the Swede’s class has never been in question, there were serious doubts around his ability to cope with the speed and physicality of the Premier League at this stage of his career.
35 in October, Zlatan is in the twilight of his career, and after four cushy seasons at PSG, many thought that the Premier League would be a shock to the system for Ibra.
And his Euro 2016 didn’t do much to dissipate the doubts, as Zlatan and Sweden really stunk the place out this summer.
Ageing like a fine wine
But he’s emphatically proving the doubters wrong thus far.With 3 goals in his first two Premier League games (plus one in the Community Shield), Zlatan has taken to the Premier League like a duck to water.
Some people lament that he didn’t come to England at his peak – but what if he’s yet to peak?
This amazing graphic shows that his goals per 90 mins is improving year on year.
