Man Utd striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic can break 91 year-old record

Manchester United striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic is on the brink of breaking a 91 year-old record.

The summer signing has scored in each of his three competitive outings for the club - against Leicester City, Bournemouth and Southampton - and tops the goals chart with four to his name.

The man who currently holds the record for scoring in four successive matches is Jimmy Hanson, a local lad bought from Stalybridge Celtic.

So history beckons for Ibrahimovic this weekend, if the Swedish number nine can breach the Tigers' defence at the KCOM Stadium and rewrite the record books.
