Milan will sign Ibra and he'll play a similar role to what Totti has done for Roma the past couple of years, and it'll be good.

Ibrahimovich is (was) a fantastic player possessing enormous skill, and he scored probably the greatest goal ever, and he still had much to offer the game... but his constant selection by Mourinho was a symptom of the manager's lack of vision and primary flaw: misplaced faith in seniority.

Ibrahimovich flattered to deceive all season and is part of the reason United stand 5th in the table.

had United put full faith in Rashford, Martial, and perhaps another pacey striker, they'd have outlets for Pogba, Mkhitaryan, Herrera, and Mata and would have comfortably finished top 4.

that said, i wouldn't wish this type of exit on anyone. he didn't deserve to die so that Mourinho could live.

Agreed on all counts. I really hope he pulls off a miracle recovery to lift the trophy in Stockholm without John Terrying it, though.

IMO Manchester United is a bad team and Zlatan is the only reason they aren't mid table. Mata and Herrera are bad and so is Rashford probably

Herrera is good, Mata is good but too tiny for the PL, and Rashford will be a very good striker hth

Swedish style? No.
Yugoslavian style? Of course not.
It has to be Zlatan-style.

Mata is good, Herrera is alright and Rashford will threaten to be a world class player before burning out in his early twenties and never realise his potential.

Ibrahimovic was very good for the first half of the season but Mourinho overplayed him and for the last couple of months he has looked knackered in most games. Since the league cup final in February he has scored 2 goals, 1 was a penalty and the other was against Sunderland. Still a big blow though to lose him though.

Also Mata is quite good but Herrera and Rashford own.

Hearing reports that Rojo will be out until September, Ibra for 9-10 months, so that's probably his career done then :-/

No. He's been trying to do too much instead of just playing football. It's incredibly frustrating to watch him play because he clearly as the ability to be world class but his entire game looks forced right now.

Yeah, he's not been £90m good, but he's been largely good in the role he plays (which is not "Frank Lampard but does dabs")

Mata would be amazing for literally any top side other than United who can't figure out how to play him. I was salivating at the thought of him coming to Spurs a few years when people thought he'd be leaving.

Lol Ramirez already sent off by Boro for the biggest dive of the season and a moronic lunge at the ball at the corner-flag. And they should be 3 - 0 down since King also missed a huge chance.

I said this a lot about Stewart Downing during the 2010-2011 season.

In all seriousness, I do think Pogba has not been nearly as bad as everyone has liked to say. It really isn't his fault that Woodward wanted to make him the most expensive player in the world regardless of whether or not United actually had the kind of side that would make the best use of Pogba.
