Zlatan Ibrahimovic is not allowed travel to Manchester

Roy Keane has admitted that he sees some similarities between Eric Cantona and reported Manchester United target Zlatan Ibrahimovic and believes that the Swede would be a good signing for the Red Devils, the Daily Mail reports. But we will park that until the Euros are over. I agree with [Sweden coach] Erik Hamren, it’s going to be a 50-50 game.

Ibrahimovic comes here after another title-winning season with the Paris club during which he scored 38 goals, while his recent record at global level is 19 goals in 21 competitive games.

Ibrahimovic is Sweden’s talisman – indeed, he scored 11 goals during qualification, three of them in the play-off double-header victory over Denmark – and could become the first man to find the back of the net at four successive Euro finals tournaments.

He said: “No, I don’t think it’s a must-win”. The team spirit has always been high, but as I said, we played against top, top teams, so that’s just the way it goes sometimes in football. I feel happy for the moment. I feel I’m getting better and better with every year that passes. What the future will be, you will know soon and we’ll see what happens.

“I want to take the pressure off my team mates as much as possible”.

Of course, Sweden could be eliminated from the competition in the group stage – where they face Colombia, Nigeria and Japan – but Ibrahimovic would likely be afforded an extra summer holiday, ruling him out of the new season regardless.

The busy summer of global football has not overshadowed Zlatan’s incredible final-season for PSG in Ligue 1, where he enjoyed his most prolific to date, scoring 50 goals in 51 games for the Parisian side.

“If the collective does well, the individual comes out of that”.

“We have good options, particularly with Jon and Robbie coming through after having had injuries”. “They can still be good even if they are slow”.

He went on: ‘It’s all about balance and being patient with your team-mates.

“At PSG I make demands”. I want them to enjoy it and go out and play.

“I am sure the rumours surrounding the captain will not affect the team”.
