Ibrahimovic backs Man Utd great Beckham to help PSG to Champions League glory

Paris Saint-Germain star Zlatan Ibrahimovic believes the influence of David Beckham can help the French giants take out the Champions League title next season.

PSG were knocked out by Barcelona in the quarter-finals last week but Swedish ace Ibrahimovic suggests former Manchester United, Real Madrid and LA Galaxy midfielder Beckham will be a part of impending success at Parc des Princes despite the fact his contract expires this summer.

"We are going to win the Champions League - and David is going to be part of it," Ibra told Sky Sports.

"The owners want him to stay, the coach wants him to stay, the players want him to stay, and that is why I am sure he will commit to at least another season in the summer.

"David is a true professional and he is as disappointed as anybody, but he believes in this project and that is why he will stay."
