OWN HARGREAVES reckons Zlatan Ibrahimovic is the signing of the season.
The Swedish superstar, 35, has scored six goals in 12 appearances since penning a deal with Manchester United on a free transfer.
But even though the striker has failed to find the net in four, former United midfielder Hargreaves still thinks the striker was the best piece of business done in the summer.

Hargreaves told BT Sport: “The signing of the season by far has been Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
“To get him on a free transfer – and a player of that quality.
“I wouldn’t like to know where Manchester United would be without Zlatan Ibrahimovic.”
The ex-Barcelona forward has faced some criticism for his performances in his last few games.
But boss Jose Mourinho has backed Ibrahimovic to prove he is the best signing – starting with their Europa League clash against Fenerbahce.
Mourinho said: “He’s giving us exactly what we need from him, what we expect from him.
“He is quite beautiful for me, to meet him five or six years later and to find the same professionalism, ambition, desire to play, desire to compete.
“He is really fit, he is always ready to play.
“I couldn’t be happier with his influence in the dressing room. The young guys look at him and what they see is great for them.”
