5 Ways Manchester United will line up with Zlatan Ibrahimovic in the side

Zlatan Ibrahimovic
Can Mourinho make it work?

#4. Throwback to the 90s

Zlatan Ibrahimovic
Is anyone getting flashbacks of the '90s?

One way to fit both strikers in would be to go take a trip back to the glorious '90s and return Manchester United and the world of football to the halcyon days of 4-4-2. This would, of course, necessitate dropping Rashford or Martial further back down and would entail pushing Mkhitaryan out wide - or the reintroduction of Jesse Lingard into the fold.

Or it would necessitate switching to a back three in a 3-5-2, with Valencia, Shaw, Lingard or Damian acting as the wingbacks who'd provide service to the two towers up top.

SAS has got nothing on LAZ!

Likelihood: 4/10

Likelihood with Zlatan coming on as a sub: 9/10

P.S. For those not in the know - SAS was one of the most fearsome big man-big man combination that the game has ever seen... Alan Shearer and Chris Sutton; they won Blackburn the league title in 1995.
