1. Zlatan Ibrahimovic

A man who needs no introduction, Zlatan Ibrahimovic has been on a tear recently for the Red Devils. After a brief run of bad form, the big Swede has struck back with a flurry of goals in the last few weeks. With a staggering seven goals and one assist in his last seven appearances, it is no mystery as to who will be the first name on the team sheet.

Zlatan will be an incredibly tough test for the Tottenham back line from the first minute. Spurs manager Mauricio Pochettino will surely preach on how important it will be to cut the supply to Zlatan.

Ibrahimovic has time and again proven that he is a world-class striker, and this season has been no different. He is the perfect striker, combining speed, strength and ability into a massive 6’4″ frame. He leads United in goals and is always a threat whenever he steps on the pitch.

He is often the most passionate one on the field, working well with manager Jose Mourinho. United will be looking for him to have another stellar game at the helm of the attack.
