da aviator aposta: Manchester United will not be offering top goalscorer Zlatan Ibrahimovic a new contract at Old Trafford after his long-term knee injury at the end of last season, according to reports from Sky Sports.
What’s the word?
da betano casino: The imperious Swede looked nailed on to land a contract extension just a couple of months ago, however, after his knee injury sidelined him until 2018, it looks as if United are going to let him go when the Premier League publish their list of released players this Friday.
Arriving from PSG on a free last summer the 35-year-old defied all critics who claimed he could not replicate his famous goalscoring form in the Premier League by notching 28 goals in all competitions.
The former Barcelona and Inter Milan striker was also decisive on more than one occasion, rising above under-performing teammates to change games, none more so than in the EFL Cup final where his brace saw of a far better Southampton side on the day.
Job done?
Having been brought in on a big money one-year-deal the retired Sweden international was never going to be at Old Trafford for the long haul, although fans would have more thank likely wanted to see more than just one year from the self-proclaimed King.
However, Ibrahimovic was brought in to do one thing at United, not necessarily score goals or win games but to bring back an air of arrogance, swagger and a ruthless streak to a side which has fallen well down from it’s pedestal in recent years.
And, in winning two major trophies during his first and seemingly only season at the club, it’s hard to argue that he hasn’t done just that. The effect that one season alongside the ‘Lion’ will have on the likes of Marcus Rashford, Paul Pogba and Jesse Lingard could pay dividend for years to come. In the short term it’s probably best to get the striker off the wage bill and press on.
