Manchester United sign Zlatan Ibrahimović

Manchester United is delighted to announce the signing of Swedish international striker Zlatan Ibrahimović.

Ibrahimović, 34, made 180 appearances for Paris Saint-Germain, scoring 156 goals. He has won championships in four different leagues since beginning his professional career with Malmo in 1999. Zlatan represented his country 116 times, scoring 62 goals, before announcing his retirement from international football last month.

Zlatan Ibrahimović said:

"I am absolutely delighted to be joining Manchester United and am looking forward to playing in the Premier League. It goes without saying that I cannot wait to work with Jose Mourinho once again. He is a fantastic manager and I am ready for this new and exciting challenge. I have thoroughly enjoyed my career so far and have some great memories. I am now ready to create more special memories in England."

Jose Mourinho said:

"Zlatan needs no introduction. The statistics speak for themselves. Ibra is one of the best strikers in the world and a player who always gives 100 per cent. He has won the most important league championships in the world of football, now he has the opportunity to play in the best league in the world and I know he will grasp this opportunity and will work hard to help the team win titles. I am certain that his talent will delight fans at Old Trafford next season and that his experience will be invaluable in helping to develop the younger players in the squad."

More looking forward to his general play. Not selfish. Same with Mkhitaryan.

GOALS: INCREDIBLE IBRAHIMOVIC

Ibrahimovic and Mkhitaryan enjoyed magnificent campaigns in front of goal last season, scoring 73 between them in all competitions, with no United players coming close to bettering their individual tallies.

8 – Marcus Rashford
7 – Memphis Depay
6 – Jesse Lingard
5 – Ander Herrera
4 – Marouane Fellaini

ASSISTS: MAGIC MKHITARYAN

While their goals will attract the attention, Ibrahimvoic and Mkhitaryan also look likely to provide United with a magnificent creative threat – they laid on a combined 44 goals for their PSG and Dortmund team-mates last season. Again, none of United's options came close.

CHANCES CREATED: MKHITARYAN UNMATCHED

An assist can only be recorded if a team-mate is there to finish off your passes, but Mkhitaryan's stunning stats in the chances created category back up his inventive credentials, laying on an astonishing total of 136 opportunities , while Ibrahimovic again fares well.

SHOT CONVERSION: RUTHLESS RASHFORD

Marcus Rashford was the only player to record a better shot conversion rate than Ibrahimovic, although the former Sweden star still scored with almost one in four of his efforts, with Mkhitaryan's record coming in at a credible one in five.

38.1 per cent – Marcus Rashford
24.3 per cent – ZLATAN IBRAHIMOVIC

17.5 per cent – Juan Mata
13.0 per cent – Jesse Lingard
10.3 per cent – Marouane Fellaini
9.0 per cent – Memphis Depay

MINUTES PLAYED: FIRST-RATE FITNESS

Only Anthony Martial and Juan Mata came close to the incoming duo when it came to time spent on the pitch last season, a boost as Mourinho attempts to put together a settled side in swift fashion.

4383 – HENRIKH MKHITARYAN
4144 – ZLATAN IBRAHIMOVIC
4128 – Anthony Martial
4084 – Juan Mata

MINUTES PER GOAL INVOLVEMENT: ALL IN AN HOUR'S WORK FOR IBRA

Perhaps the fairest measure of attacking effectiveness is minutes per goal involvement. This category combines minutes on the pitch with goals and assists to ascertain how often a player contributes to a goal.

The records of Ibrahimovic and Mkhitaryan are far more impressive than that of any of United's players – highlighting the instant impact Mourinho hopes to gain from their arrivals.

Ibrahimovic contributed either a goal or assist once every 60.9 minutes over the course of the campaign, with Mkhitaryan also producing at least one per game.

60.9 minutes – ZLATAN IBRAHIMOVIC
89.4 minutes – HENRIKH MKHITARYAN
141.3 minutes – Marcus Rashford
165.1 minutes – Anthony Martial
166.2 minutes – Wayne Rooney
213.5 minutes – Ander Herrera
214.9 minutes – Juan Mata
246.5 minutes – Memphis Depay
288.1 minuets – Jesse Lingard
442.2 minutes – Marouane Fellaini
