Zlatan amassed 29 goals in 46 matches in his debut season. He could have finished with a lot more, but a severe injury ruled him out for rest of the 2016-17 campaign. A consistent winner, Zlatan helped United bag three trophies that season.

In an exclusive interview with The BBC, Zlatan revealed that the players he wanted to get an opinion from before joining United, told him not to do it. They also tried putting doubts in his mind.
