And after enduring what Jamie Carragher described as one of Ibra’s ‘worst halves ever’, the Swede seemingly took out his frustration – on his boots.
The United forward began the game with Adidas cleats, or to be more specific, a pair of Adidas X Stellar’s.
He also wore these in the 4-0 demolition by Chelsea – where he was roundly criticised for looking uninterested and slow, whilst seemingly slipping over a lot.
And he emerged for the first half against City with that pair, only to ditch them at half time for his old Nike Mecurial’s.
Zlatan looked a different player, laying on the assist for Juan Mata’s winner and continually harrying the City defence.
