Zlatan Ibrahimovic
Can Mourinho make it work?

Could Ibra's shirt number indicate his position on the pitch?

We have always viewed Zlatan Ibrahimovic as the most traditional of no. 9s but what he has shown over the years is that he has a passing range - and a first touch - that can rival any trequartista in the business.

In the traditional no.10 position, Mourinho could ensure he sticks to his 4-2-3-1 position with the like of Lukaku, Pogba, Rashford (and/or Martial) retaining the positions they are best at. If Mourinho has to start both his strikers this might well be the best way to go about it.

Likelihood: 5/10 - most likely if he starts

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