42 attempts and no goals: Zlatan’s shooting struggles
Manchester United striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic might not be scoring, but he is not afraid of shooting, while Romelu Lukaku is almost single-handedly seeing off West Ham.
42 shots and no goals
The more you shoot, the more you score, right? Wrong. At least it is if you’re Ibrahimovic.
The former Sweden international has not scored in his past six Premier League matches, his worst run in the league since his time with Inter Milan in 2007.
Since his most recent top-flight goal, against Manchester City on 10 September, Ibrahimovic has had 42 attempts at goal.
That is more than any other player has even attempted during the whole Premier League season.
