Ancelotti tells Man Utd fans what to expect from Ibrahimovic

Former PSG coach Carlo Ancelotti says Zlatan Ibrahimovic can make a big impact at Manchester United.

Ibrahimovic has been strongly linked with a move to Manchester United this summer after he decided to leave PSG.

Ancelotti told the Daily Telegraph: "I know that he is 34-years-old but anyone who has ever worked closely with footballers – and knows a thing or two about their fitness and their stamina – can see that Ibra is not your typical 34-year-old.

"When he says that he is getting better, he means it. He's certainly better than any 34-year-old footballer I know.

"Ibra will play for the team and he likes to bring other players into the game.

"He is passionate about Sweden which people overlook, because he has become such a big personality.

"Italy will find it very difficult to control him and if he's having a good day then the chances are that he will score.

"There's no secret to these big players, in the end it comes down to one thing: they really love playing football. It keeps them going and keeps them hungry for more."
