Zlatan Ibrahimovic has not found scoring as easy since joining Manchester United.

Manchester United's Zlatan Ibrahimovic celebrates scoring their second goal

His time at Manchester United got off to a sensational start, but the good times have not continued for Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

The Sweden international returned to the score sheet against Swansea, with his brace being the first time he has found the net in the Premier League since scoring in the derby defeat to Manchester City early in the season.

Six goals isn’t a bad total, but for a man of Zlatan’s standards, he should have scored much more. Are Manchester United fans worried about Ibrahimovic? We went to Old Trafford to find out.

Despite being 35-years-old, Ibrahimovic has been a prominent figure in Jose Mourinho’s starting line up, with his age not influencing the amount of minutes he is receiving. However, some fans think Mourinho needs to be more sparing when using their number nine.

“There’s certain games Mourinho needs to use his [Ibrahimovic] time a bit better. There’s some games where he should start Rashford up front and Zlatan should be rested,” said one fan.

The majority of fans are not worried by Ibrahimovic’s lack of goals, blaming the service to him rather than the Swede’s ability to score.

This is another rough period for Manchester United after many years of struggle, and Ibrahimovic’s failures in front of goal are certainly not helping the Red Devils.
