Manchester United Moves Forward

The Swedish soccer star, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, left the French side Paris Saint Germain to join the English Premier League giants Manchester United this summer. He entered the "Theatre of Dreams" (their stadium) and has already surpassed his expectations at the club in just four games. He has averaged one goal a game and has the most shots on goal with an impressive seven.

For reasons unrelated to soccer, Ibrahimovic is a man of much controversy; his reputation has gained him significant attention throughout his career, and this season should be no different.

In an effort to disparage Ibrahimovic, Eric Cantona, known as the "King" of Manchester United, recently stated that Ibrahimovic could become, "the prince at Old Trafford (the stadium)". Ibrahimovic retorted with, "I admire Cantona and I heard what he said . . . . But I won't be King of Manchester. I will be God of Manchester"  (ESPN FC).

Ibrahimovic will add just as much excitement to the field this season. In the past couple of years, Manchester United fell in the very standings that they had once dominated, With Ibrahimovic's scoring ability, they will become a top competitor once again. He brings an intensity that the team has lacked the past few seasons. With his energy and clinical finishing skills, he will provide the keys to  the team's success.
