Ex-Lyon star Anderson slams 'humble' Zlatan's debut Man Utd interview

Former Barcelona and Lyon striker Sonny Anderson was unimpressed by Zlatan Ibrahimovic's first words as a Manchester United player.

Unlike his time with PSG, Ibrahimovic showed great humility and respect in his first interview after signing for United on Friday.

Anderson told BeIn Sport: "Too bad we did not see that Zlatan - humble, smiling, respectful, who has not the courage to say he comes as king, because he left here as a legend, a legend who happens to go to Manchester.

"It does not take away from the quality of the player, but we would have liked that respect which he is showing Manchester and the English."
