Zlatan Ibrahimovic warns Manchester United he will not 'waste time' after frustrating draw

Zlatan Ibrahimovic takes a moment to reflect during the Premier League match against Bournemouth

Zlatan Ibrahimovic warned Manchester United he did not come to Old Trafford to "waste time" after another frustrating draw against Everton on Tuesday.

The Swede scored a stoppage-time penalty to salvage a 1-1 draw, cancelling out Phil Jagielka's first-half strike and taking his goals tally for the season to 27.

The result means United have won just six of their 16 Premier League home games this season, drawing nine and losing once, while scoring just 21 goals. Nine teams have taken more points at home than the 27 United have managed.

"A lot of things have to be settled," Ibrahimovic told MUTV after the game. "It's not like I'm 20 and I have another five or 10 years.

"I came here without the Champions League. I came here with the team as it was. It was not a team that was favourite to win.

"I still came. I came to help. I came to do what I am able to do. To make it better. To bring the team to higher views so let's see what happens."
