Arsenal boss Wenger: People will always question Ibrahimovic's age

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger says he has no idea if Zlatan Ibrahimovic will be a success with Manchester United this season.

It will be Ibra's first taste of English football since he rejected Arsenal as a teenager.

Wenger said, "Honestly I don't know [how he will get on]. Going for him is his class, his talent, his desire to do well. What goes against him is that he is not the youngest player anymore, so you are questioned about that in every game.

"From what I saw of him last year at Paris Saint-Germain, it was his most complete season as an individual player and as a team player. He became a really great team player last season. On the mental aspect he will bring something to Man United as well. He is a winner, he has charisma and he will give them a strength as well as his individual quality."
