Right in the moment where Zlatan Ibrahimovic got suspended in the air to strike the ball for his first ever Manchester United goal, Jose Mourinho's face was quite expressive. It was clear that he knew how much fun the United fans will have with this world class striker and how great of an idea it was bringing him to Old Trafford. Very few people have doubts that Zlatan will end up becoming one of United's best players in the club's recent history, it's really a no-brainer.
For compatriot Sven-Goran Eriksson who's been talking to Omnisport quite a bit in the past few weeks, the Mourinho-Ibrahimovic tandem is a deadly combination that will bring United a lot of trophies. Despite being 34-years of age, Zlatan proved today that he is still one of the best strikers in the world and with the amazing team behind him, there will be no stopping his deadly accuracy in front of goal.
Eriksson told Omnisport that: "I'm not surprised he went to United. Mourinho has the reputation, similar to Zlatan, that when they go to a new club they normally win in the championship in the first year. So why not? Mourinho and Zlatan it could be enough to win the Premier League. It would be great for both of them, especially for Zlatan. That would be something incredible, if he could also add that to his other titles."
