AC Milan striker Ibrahimovic: This Man Utd team better than mine, but...

AC Milan striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic insists any improvement under manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is worth nothing until they win a title.

During his stint with United, Ibrahimovic won the Europa League, EFL Cup and Community Shield.

And speaking after their Europa League defeat, the 39-year-old admitted that while this United team 'looks' better, until that translates to winning silverware, it is irrelevant.

Asked how this team compares to the one he played in, he said: “I think it's better, it looks better, but it doesn't matter if you don't win nothing. I think it was better than mine, but I won trophies, that's the big difference."

On the game itself, Ibrahimovic sent a thinly veiled dig at his Rossoneri teammates for their failure to take any of their chances during the second leg defeat.

“I think in two games we did well, we played two good games and we created good chances today, we could and should have scored. Then we make one mistake and we get a goal against us," he explained.
