Zlatan Ibrahimovic needs more of this at Manchester United – Diego Forlan

Zlatan Ibrahimovic has hit the ground running in his debut season at Manchester United, scoring 15 Premier League goals.

The striker has been Jose Mourinho's main source of goals this season and in the 11 league games he hasn't found the net, United have won just four times.

Juan Mata is United's second top scorer in the league with five goals and former United star Forlan believes the supporting cast need to start easing the burden on Ibrahimovic's shoulders.

Diego Forlan insisted Manchester United's attackers need to ease the burden on Ibrahimovic

"It is a shame that those players around him haven’t been scoring anything like as many goals," Forlan told Abu Dhabi publication The National.

"The best teams, the title winners, need more than one person scoring. You need goals from all over the pitch, but especially up front.

"At Villarreal I was scoring, but so was Juan Roman Riquelme. At Atletico Madrid, I had Sergio Aguero alongside me scoring a lot of goals. Ibrahimovic had it with my compatriot Edinson Cavani at Paris Saint-Germain before he came to Manchester.

"There are some great attacking players at United, but while they might be enjoying playing with Ibrahimovic and learning from him, none have scored more than five league goals.

"It is not enough, it is a reason why United are sixth in the Premier League table and not first or second. When Ibrahimovic has gone a few games without scoring, which happens to every striker, others haven’t stepped up to replace his goals.

"Ibrahimovic is the best finisher at United. Not all of his goals are beautiful, but what does that matter if they end up in the net?

"I can see Ibrahimovic staying at United beyond this season. He is 35, but his game has never truly been about pace.

"It is the one asset he doesn’t have, but he has everything else. He is still at a very high level and that is to his credit, given that he plays in almost every game."
