‘Perfect’ Wayne Rooney Deserves More Respect, Says Zlatan Ibrahimovic

Manchester United wants to keep Zlatan Ibrahimovic for another season.

He also spoke about how he was enjoying living in Manchester and how he was finding the Premier League.

United, however, aren’t the only club said to be interested in him and the eventual transfer of Lindelof might result in a good old bidding war.

“As special as he (Ibrahimovic) has been over his career, and as special as he is now, I don’t think he should be the main one”.

“I try to do my best and it’s a very good result”. The rest, the financial deal, was not the hard part.

“I will never turn down a challenge”.

“United haven’t won any big trophies in the last years but we have people in position to bring the club back to where it belongs”, he said.

Feyenoord are also without Netherlands defender Terence Kongolo (hamstring) as well as Eric Botteghin, who is suspended after being sent off in their last Europa League game at Zorya.

But Mourinho’s men are sixth in England’s top flight, nine points behind leaders Chelsea, having suffered a frustrating run of home draws against Stoke City, Burnley and Arsenal.

It ensured Rooney’s name was plastered across newspapers again but this time in a more positive light, following the publication of images of him looking worse for wear in England training kit during the global break. “Now it is probably a yes (to another season), but I need discussions”.

Ibrahimovic also leapt to the defence of Paul Pogba, who returned to United from Juventus for a world record fee of 89 million pounds ($110.07 million) in August, saying the France global needs more time to find his feet at the club. That is something we work on. We have an important game against Feyenoord and have to win. We’re pleased we got four goals.

Ibrahimovic has struggled to consistently replicate the form he showed at his previous clubs but, when a journalist suggested that the Swede has not been shining as much as in the past, he replied: “I shine 24 hours”.
