Even at the ripe age of 35, Zlatan Ibrahimovic is still banging in the goals and has been in red-hot form for Manchester United of late.
In all competitions, Ibrahimovic has an excellent return of 17 goals this term.
That achievement is even more impressive when you consider that Ibra has already equalled the tally United's top scorer finished the 2016/17 on, with Anthony Martial notching 17 goals in his debut season with the club.
And before the year comes to a close, the Swede has the chance to reach another landmark.

He is currently the second top-scorer in 2016 in the top five European leagues and is just one shy of 2016 top dog Lionel Messi, who has netted an incredible 51 goals.
Zlatan's contributions for Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester United have seen hit half a century for the year on the whole and a brace against Middlesbrough on New Year's Eve will see Ibrahimovic eclipse Messi as the top scorer for the calendar year of 2016 - as Messi's Barcelona are not in action until the New Year.
It would be another huge achievement for a player who shows no signs of slowing down.
