Striker says he has not yet hit goal target
Manchester United striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic has said he has not hit his goal target for this season yet despite tucking away his 20th of the campaign against Leicester City.
The 3-0 win helped United close the gap on the top 5 after Liverpool lost away to Hull on Saturday.
The Sweden veteran said: “I have a target in my head but I will not say it, and we are not there yet.
“It’s something I do every year and it’s nothing new. I keep producing. I had 27 goals last year. The statistics so far have the same reach like the other years.”
When asked if his side were back in the hunt for the Champions League places, Ibrahimovic said: “I think so. It was a big gap a few months ago but it is smaller now.
“I think we are our own enemy. If we had won our games and got the points we should have got then the situation would be totally different but okay, we look at the other teams and hopefully they lose points.”
