Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s all-time top ten goals
By Roy Emanuel
The best of the best.
The great goalscorers in football will always have something that separates them from the rest. It may be exceptional pace or dazzling skill on the ball, or it could be tremendous size and strength. Over the past two decades, fans have been able to see all of this in one player – Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
The 36-year-old is in his second season at Manchester United, and does not appear to be letting anything stop him. An ACL tear forced Ibrahimovic out of action in April of this year, only for him to return last month.
The Swedish legend has been a part of Europe’s elite sides throughout his career, and has never been shy about speaking his mind when given the opportunity.
Tears his ACL in April. He’s back in November. Ibra is not human. #MUNNEW

Beginning his professional career with Malmo FF, Ibrahimovic soon moved to Ajax and eventually Italian giants Juventus. Inter Milan, Barcelona and AC Milan all followed, and almost all of these stops brought an incredible amount of success.
When he signed for Paris Saint-Germain in 2012, Ibrahimovic literally helped to shift and shape a new identity for the club. Even with many pundits expecting him to struggle in his first Premier League season last term, Zlatan netted an impressive 17 goals for the Red Devils across all competitions.
On the international stage, Ibrahimovic is Sweden’s all-time leading scorer and was a true leader for the squad.
A veteran of several European Championships and FIFA World Cups, his incredible presence was almost always felt for his country.
A powerful shot, magical technical ability and a willingness (or arrogance depending on your view) to try the unexpected out on the pitch, Ibrahimovic has provided stunning moments year after year.
