#1 Zlatan shows what United missed against Chelsea

Zlatan’s exquisite touch set up Mata for the only goal of the game

An exquisite back heel flick to set up Mata for a tap-in was only the highlight of an all-round wonderful performance from Ibrahimovic up front for United. From holding the ball up to popping up in midfield and on the flanks, Zlatan’s freshness helped him show off all that he can still provide at the age of 35.

There was even a burst into the box, beating defenders for pace and drawing the ‘keeper out, but his shot over the diving Medvedev went well over the crossbar. Altogether, for all the pace that Rashford provided up front against Chelsea, there was still a Zlatan-sized hole in attack – one that United will eventually have to figure out how to plug.
