Despite the odd stutter in form, Ibrahimovic has won admirers at United and throughout the Premier League with his nature, fitness and attitude, helping to educate some of the club’s younger players.
Jose Mourinho says he told his Manchester United players to give their shirts to the fans because it’s “Christmas time”.
“For them [the players], it is just one more shirt”.
Pulis’s Albion, the surprise team of the season, sit only one place behind United in seventh after Salomon Rondon’s hat-trick of headers beat Swansea City in midweek.
United are now unbeaten in seven Premier League matches, and their new signings Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Paul Pogba are hitting their stride.
He added: “I tipped United to win the title back in August”.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic has quickly turned into Manchester United’s talisman.
“We have been disappointed in some games, so let’s keep going like this and get the three points that we need to get closer to the top”. He will start the game against West Brom on Saturday.
“We dominated the game and got the early goal which killed them”. He’s now on 87 alongside Alan Shearer.
West Brom have been given four red cards in the Premier League against Man Utd; against no side have they received more. They’ll have a chance to try and close this gap when they host Sunderland at Old Trafford on December 26.
Mourinho this week described the former Sweden global as “phenomenal” and nearly undroppable and he proved his worth again on Saturday evening with both goals in United’s 2-0 win at West Brom.
The towering striker has found the net 14 times this season, and scored a brilliant victor against Crystal Palace on Wednesday. The struggles of late September and October seem like they were an exception as ten goals from his last nine appearances for Manchester United show that the star striker is well and truly back to his best.
