Zlatan Ibrahimovic certainly hit the ground running when he started playing for Manchester United. The star striker scored 4 goals in his first three starts for United and has looked good playing under former boss Jose Mourinho again. In the month of August, Zlatan scored on his debut at Wenbley in the Community Shield, leading United to a 2-1 win over Champions Leicester City before scoring on his League debut against Bournemouth and banging in a brace against Southampton. In September despite United losing in the Manchester Derby, Zlatan still managed to get on the scoresheet and he scored again in the Europa League getting the winner vs Zorya Luhansk.

According to research done by BettingExpert.com Zlatan generally has a stellar August averaging 1.00 goals per game and getting the season off to a flying start – a trick he managed with United at the age of 34 (since turned 35). September sees him dropping his goals per game ratio to 0.44 goals per game and then improving for October to 0.76 goals per game and again improving in November to 0.84 goals per game and again to 0.90 goals per game in December.

August is certainly Ibrahimovic’s most prolific month during his career but the good news for United fans is that he has scored 32 goals in 42 games in October over his career so hopefully he continues that trend against Liverpool tonight.
