Perhaps nobody in the Manchester United squad better typifies the problems that are currently afflicting the side than luckless striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
The ex-Paris Saint-Germain star made a blistering start to life in the Premier League, scoring four goals in his first four outings. Since then, however, it has all been downhill for Zlatan.
Sunday's blank against Chelsea marked the fifth consecutive game he has failed to trouble the scorers in the English top flight.
That equals an unenviable record for the Swede, who last went so many minutes without a league goal six years ago while playing for AC Milan.
That cloud, however, may just have a silver lining - in the 2010-11 Serie A season he eventually recovered to score 14 league goals and lead his club to the Scudetto.
Can he make such a miraculous transformation this time round? United fans will certainly hope so.
