The goal defied all evidences pointing towards Zlatan’s increasing age and seemed to shut up every critic of his who previously made statements regarding his age. They’re hoping these investments will pay off with a Premier League title, but things may not be so simple if history is any indication.

Zlatan Ibrahimović may well be the most important cog in José Mourinho’s plans so far.
But if you put both the Manchester City and Manchester United strikers in your XI, you do lose out elsewhere because something has to give in terms of how you spread out your budget across your squad – especially in midfield. In this game, Zlatan scored a goal, which allowed Manchester United to win the FA Community Shield.
Mourinho, especially, will be delighted given his team’s fast start to the new campaign.
So with the two seemingly poised for a head-to-head battle over who will claim the Premier League’s ever-elusive Golden boot, which of the two looks better equipped to achieve exactly that?
Pogba was magnificent on his Old Trafford return, while Ibrahimovic has also settled quickly into life in England with three goals to his name already.
The 34-year-old is one of the most experienced players around at United following his arrival after four years at Paris Saint-Germain.
The Reds present goalkeeper -Simon Mignolet- is far below the level required to make Liverpool premier league champions therefore, Liverpool must hurriedly sign Joe Hart who is far better than him. It’s never easy and they are one of the four teams that have won the first two games this season.
Another factor that many have raised in Aguero’s defence, is that of the standard of football at which he has scored his goals. I am trying to help all the other ones.
‘The important number is to score one more goal than the opponent and at the moment we are scoring two more, so we are fine!’ “There is a lot of pressure on him because of the season he had previous year”.
Ibrahimović fares only slightly better, averaging slightly under 31 games per season (30.8) – 81% of the available matches.
