So be it.

Facts ignore the potential of the team without Zlatan.

As always, apply the Barca/Real check. Would either of these two teams have him in their match day squad? Not a chance.

One campaign, 30 goals, without him you'd have been in all sorts of sh*t last season, but it's the big "f*ck off don't let the door hit you on the way out" treatment when he goes. Nice work mate. 

Yet no one else was lining up to sign him?

As I say, facts ignore potential. For every goal he scored how many were squandered because he was slow as fudge? Because he couldn't make a single run to create space for someone else? Etc etc

I don't mean to be as harsh as my post reads, he had a good season, sure, but I believe it was at the price of other (potentially better) players (or signing an actual replacement) and dealing with the real problems at United.
