Striker: Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Manchester United

Okay so his goals have dried up a bit lately but he’s still been one of the best strikers in the Premier League this season… at the age of 35-yeas-old.

That’s an incredible achievement. Perhaps his old age has caught up with him now after starting almost every game for United despite his suspension.

The self described king has scored a respectable tally of 17 goals for United and has essentially kept United in the top 6 this season. If it weren’t for his goals  I struggle to think of any other players in that squad who would’ve scored them.

He’s also highly intelligent in building up play and has set up his teammates with 5 assists.

He may not be very fast or have the younger fresher legs but his experience and skill in finishing has proved his doubters wrong. Zlatan can score and dominate the Premier League.
