After making a flying start to life at Old Trafford, Zlatan Ibrahimović has fallen away in recent weeks.

The Swedish striker endured a torrid afternoon in front of goal, as did many of his Manchester United teammates, as none of their 37 shots found a way past Burnley goalkeeper Tom Heaton. He even set a personal record at Old Trafford - but not one he'll be too happy with - marking his longest goalless run of the decade. https://twitter.com/OptaJoe/status/792395086688575488 Ibrahimović might have six goals to his name already this season, but has not found the net in a Premier League game since the 2-1 Manchester Derby defeat back on September 10. His worst miss came late on when he fired over from close range with Heaton out of the picture, but United fans were on the veteran's back throughout the afternoon. https://twitter.com/JonathanShrager/status/792397466951905280 https://twitter.com/LiamPaulCanning/status/792395294415740928 https://twitter.com/brentmaximin/status/792378024465305602 https://twitter.com/BusbyMUFC/status/792378137095106561 https://twitter.com/UncleBen_/status/792378610376118274 But others have been keen to admit the club's problems go far deeper than one player, even if that player hasn't found the net domestically in more than a month. https://twitter.com/FullTimeDEVILS/status/792399354732568577 https://twitter.com/DidiM_93/status/792473053435494400 Ibrahimović obviously has the goods to turn things around - his start to life in Manchester, not to mention the rest of his illustrious career, is evidence of that. At least he's providing some entertainment for fans of other clubs up and down the country. https://twitter.com/EamoV1/status/792392542604132352 Catch up with the latest episode of Football Friday Live
