Zlatan Ibrahimovic has been voted Manchester United's Player of the Month for December.

The former PSG striker was in impressive form during the hectic festive period, scoring seven goals in eight appearances over the entire month.

Ibrahimovic began the month with a lobbed effort past Maarten Stekelenburg in a 1-1 draw with Everton, before scoring in the 2-0 victory over Zorya in the club's final Europa League group game.

After failing to find the net in the 1-0 win over Tottenham, Ibrahimovic then managed four in three games, including two against West Brom.

The Swede has scored a total of 18 goals in all competitions since his summer move from PSG on a free transfer, with Jose Mourinho having confirmed that the 35-year-old's contract will be extended into a second season.
