Zlatan has gotten his goalscoring form back. Tonight he scored twice when Man Utd beat West Ham 4-1 and advanced to the League Cup semifinal. United played really well, Mkhitaryan and Martial was on fire.
Zlatan scored which should mean happy days. But Manchester United failed to score another goal against West Ham and played 1-1 against one of the worst teams so far in Premier League. The season is sadly slipping away.
The crowd at Old Trafford got to see a fluent, attacking Manchester United comfortably beat Feyenoord 4-0 in the Europa League tonight. Zlatan got an assist to Rooney's 1-0 and "scored" when he forced goalkeeper Jones to score an own goal.
– I didn't feel that good. I haven't played in three weeks, and I felt it both in my game and body, Zlatan said about his own performance after the game.
Zlatan is Sweden's best footballer of all time. By far.
On the annual Swedish football awards tonight he won the award for Forward of the Year as well as once again receiving the Golden Ball, given to the best male Swedish footballer of the year.
It was the 10th straight year (11th total) he won both Forward of the Year, and the Golden Ball.
He has previously won the awards 2005, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015 and now 2016.
This summer Zlatan announced his retirement from international football which tonight was highlighted and honored. He received a message from David Beckham and the Swedish Football Association announced that a statue of Zlatan will be placed outside Sweden's National Stadium Friends Arena.

Finally! Zlatan scored in the Premier League again! And when he did, he didn't only score once, but twice. His 399th and 400th club career goal lead Manchester United to an important victory with 1-3 away against Swansea.
Two weeks ago Zlatan was one of 30 players being nominated to France Football's "Ballon D'Or" where journalists vote on the best players in the world, and today FIFA presented their shortlist (23 players) for their new award "The Best FIFA Men's Player 2016". Zlatan is nominated there as well.
The award for the best male football player in the world has had many faces over the years.
Up until 2007 the French football magazine France Football handed out the prestigous award "Ballon D'Or" to the best "European Footballer of the Year", but then changed it to incuding players over the world.
Between 1991 and 2010 FIFA gave out their own "FIFA World Player of the Year"-award but in 2010 the both awards merged into one, the "FIFA Ballon D'Or", which was given to Lionel Messi four times and Cristiano Ronaldo twice 2010-2015.
But this year the two awards have once again separated, France Football gives out "Ballon D'Or" like before 2010 and FIFA have initiated the new award, called "The Best FIFA Men's Player , which is voted on by national team captains and coaches (50%) and fans (50%).
Zlatan has been nominated to "Ballon D'or" (either before or after FIFA joined France Football in the process) ten times: 2003, 2004, 2005, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015. He was voted the fourth best player in the world in 2013.
He was nominated to FIFA's World Player of the Year 2005, 2006, 2008, 2009.
