Zlatan Ibrahimovic proves he would still light up Manchester United after making Sweden’s equaliser against Ireland
SunSport runs the rule over the 34-year-old's temperament, teamwork and threat before delivering a verdict on the star
MANCHESTER UNITED could still do a lot worse than signing 34-year-old Sweden international Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
Even after a slow start. against an impressive Republic of Ireland, he helped his side grab a crucial goal and proved he still has the golden touch.
THREAT
QUIET in the first half but always ready to spring into life. Did exactly that by setting up Ciaran Clark’s own goal to level the scores.
Before that Zlatan fired wide with a decent volley.
TEAMWORK
SEEN in his own area defending set-pieces and his assist was all about unselfishness.
When the Irish goal went in it was Ibra rallying the troops. Yes, his ego means it is all about him but he also leads by example.

VERDICT
IBRAHIMOVIC is made for Manchester United.
He ticks all the boxes and can make a big impact, even if he won’t start every game under Jose Mourinho.
Would bring a lot to Old Trafford.
