Zlatan Ibrahimovic Was Born To Play At Manchester United

Zlatan Ibrahimovic Was Born To Play At Manchester United

Former Manchester United goalkeeper Peter Schmeichel believes Swedish star Zlatan Ibrahimovic was born to play for the Red Devils.

The frontman, who has played for the likes of Ajax Amsterdam, Juventus, Inter Milan and Barcelona, sees his contract expires next summer and could be interested in a move to the Premier League.

Schmeichel thinks that Louis Van Gaal should think about bringing in the big Swede, as he could have the same impact as Eric Cantona had when he joined.

"Last summer, there were rumours that he would come to Manchester United. I then said that Zlatan was built for the club, he was born to play there," he told Sky Sports.

"It's why Cantona was so strong when he was there, not at Leeds or in all other clubs in France? Why? Because it is Manchester United. In Manchester, there was the freedom given to the players, but also responsibilities.

"We do not care who you are or what you love, we look at what you're doing on the pitch and the influence you have in the club. If you do not respect that, you're leaving.

"But you can have any personality. Beckham, Cantona... they could go out and also be at their best. There are hundreds of players who are trying to be a Beckham or Cantona, but do not have the personality, and they fail."

Zlatan Ibrahimovic has made 30 appearances for Paris Saint-Germain so far this season and has scored 23 goals along the way.
