Manchester United midfielder Ander Herrera is full of praise for striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic on the Swede’s 35th birthday.
He said: “If you saw a game and you didn’t know Zlatan’s age, you could think he was only 28 or 29 and that is good for us.
“He’s an example for every one of us. I am not young, not old, I’m in the middle and he is an example for me as well. When you behave as a professional. You can still be at a top club at 35.”
The 35-year old has so far scored six goals for Manchester United this season after moving to the club for free earlier this summer.
He added: “He is very, 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, so we are very lucky to have Zlatan with us.
“The way he trains, even before the training session — he is always stretching, taking care of his body, so that is the way a professional player has to behave.
“But I cannot forget Wayne [Rooney] as well. He’s a top player, the same as Zlatan in every training session. Michael Carrick as well. We can’t forget Michael, Wayne, Ashley Young — they all train hard every day.”
