For someone
known for his goalscoring prowess, Ibrahimovic has gone too many matches
without fishing the ball from the net.
Herrera Sure
Ibrahimovic Will Regain Goalscoring Form
Thierry Henry
believes the former PSG striker has the mental strength and character to
overcome his struggles.
The former
Arsenal striker played alongside the Manchester United striker at Barcelona and
has backed him to recover from his drought.
Speaking on
Monday Night Football, Henry said: “All the questions have been about Jose
Mourinho and Wayne Rooney but now they are about Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
“It’s the
first time he’s found himself in this situation in his career.
“He usually
puts them in the back of the net because this doesn’t happen to him often.
“He’s going to
have to deal with it. I know he has the character and the ability to deal with
it but it will be better for him if it happens sooner rather than later.”
However, since
netting in United’s derby defeat to Man City in September, he has scored just
once in 10 matches in all competitions.
When asked if
Ibrahimovic’s goal scoring drought would be affecting his confidence, Henry
said: “It does, especially when your team doesn’t win.
“Sometimes
it’s okay if you don’t score but your team still wins but he knows he’s had
great opportunities to score goals in important games.
“Yes, it does
affect you but I would still back him to deliver for United because of the
player he was and he is still,” he added.
“It hasn’t
happened for him recently for United, but he needs to find a way to score goals
because they need that.
“Does it
affect him? Yes, he’s a human being but he has the right tools in his mind to
recover from that.”
