Thought he was great today, especially his link up play.

Zlat was properly pinging his passes at Rooney when he came on.

Rooney controlled them to be fair to him.

Waiting for the hot take from Red Santos, tbh.

agree with this - nothing telegraphed about his passing, nothing hesitant.

Not many centre forwards can bully Morgan and Huth

When he shoved Huth to the floor and gave him the Zlatan stare

His best all-round performance for us today.

He'll be properly pissed off he didn't score.

Would have been one of the goals of the season if that volley went in

If only we could have gotten him five years ago.

Way he put Huth on his arse then gave him the look. Played with a smile on his face the whole game and was excellent.

Yep. Great ball from Poggers, Reminded me of the Eric chip pass to Irwin against Spurs.

Weren't there similar stats for his time playing with RvP?

He's never been a proper number 10

anyone surprised mata is better than rooney at 10 is basically an idiot.

some of the little combinations and sneaky passes through gaps mata plays are a joy to watch. with power and pace around him he can hold the key. his exchanges with herrera and valencia from a couple of seasons back is exactly the kind of stuff we've been missing too often...

Yep - said it last night

Had a couple of near misses, Zlatan but on another day they'd hit the target and he'd be mom as a result

How three successive managers can't see that you need a touch player at no 10 instead of bagatelle/bouncing off Rooney's shins

Similar to Rooney when he gets frustrated dropped deep in search of the ball yesterday, …. When he did get the opportunity to run in behind his obvious lack of pace was evident as he struggled to pull away from their slow centre-backs…A bit more desire and aggression than usual yesterday though, ran a bit more, threw his weight around, great when we pumped it forward… I think he really relished the physical battles with Huth and Morgan.. Should’ve scored, it’s what #IamZlatan is paid to do…… Would’ve been a great goal had he did…

The sooner Rashford plays down the middle with similar support around him the better
