Manchester United are lucky to have Zlatan Ibrahimovic, says star midfielder

Manchester United midfielder Ander Herrera has hailed Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s impact at the club.

The former Sweden international joined the Red Devils from Paris St-Germain this summer and has already made a big impact at Old Trafford. After netting the winner in Community Shield against Leicester City, he has scored 4 league goals. He also netted the winner in United’s last Europa League tie against Zorya.

Hailing Ibrahimovic’s work ethic, Herrera said that he has been an inspiration for one and all at the club. With regular captain Wayne Rooney out of the starting eleven, Ibrahimovic has been a role model for the inexperienced team.

Herrera said: “It’s unbelievable. He doesn’t lose one training session.

“He trains every day at his best, trying to get everyone at their highest level.
“He is very aggressive and demanding but in a good way because every day he wants to win every training session — and he wants everyone with him to win, to keep working. We are very lucky to have Zlatan.”

“I am not young, not old, I’m in the middle and he is an example for me. When you behave as a professional you can be at a top club at 35,” Herrera added.

Contrary to the popular belief that the 35-year old is an arrogant personality, Herrera said that the striker is a colourful character and heaped lavish praise on the forward for his remarkable fitness.

Herrera added: “He is a great personality and a great guy as well. When you see how fit he is, you see what kind of professional he is.

“He’s an example for me and a lot of players.

“You see the way he behaves, the way he trains even before the session — he is always stretching, taking care of his body.

“And if you didn’t know Zlatan’s age, you could think he was only 28 or 29 — and that is good for us.”
