Why Man Utd fans should be worried about their latest signing

Zlatan Ibrahimovich confirmed on Twitter that he will be joining Manchester United.  
This news got many man United fans into ecstacy but, ballboi team  takes a look at why this isn't a big deal.
Since bursting onto the larger footballing
landscape after signing for Ajax during the
2001/2002 season, Zlatan Ibrahimovic has enjoyed
success wherever he has moved. The Swedish
superstar has his fair share of critics, who
oftentimes point out his tendency to move from
club to club after every couple of years, among
other things. More importantly there is one trophy
that has continually eluded him for over a
decade: the most coveted club prize in European
football.
One major prize that Ibrahimovic has sought, but still has yet to win: the Champions League
Although Ibrahimovic has donned the kit of some
of the continent's biggest clubs - including
Barcelona, Juventus, Inter, AC Milan, Ajax, and 
PSG - he has never been able to guide his team
to the finals . The furthest he has ever gone was
reaching the semi-finals during the 2009/2010
edition in which Barcelona were knocked out by
his former club Inter. These years of frustration
for the 34-year-old star have given rise to a
running gag that had made the rounds on the
Internet: in essence, "when Ibra leaves a club,
they win the Champions League".
For instance, in 2009, the big Swede traded Inter
for Barcelona, only to see the Nerazzurri win the
title in 2010. He then left Camp Nou to return to
Italy, this time with Milan, and the Blaugrana were crowned champions of Europe at the end of the 2010/2011 season. Now, this is obviously just an unfortunate coincidence, but it certainly gives his critics more ammunition as in the past he has
been portrayed as a "small game" player, one who
has continually flopped when the pressure gets
ramped up on the big stage.
Fact: Ibrahimovic has yet to even feature in a UCL final, let alone set foot on the winners' podium. 
Man utd fans might has well forget about the Champions League trophy  has long has they have ibrahimovich.
