Ibrahimovic fires warning at Man City ace Haaland over 'Guardiola and his ego'

AC Milan striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic has fired a warning at Erling Haaland over working with Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola.

Ibrahimovic fell out with Guardiola when they were together at Barcelona.

The Swede told Canal+: "Do I like Haaland? Yes very much. I think he is a very intelligent player. He does not do things that he is not capable of doing. He doesn't go down to get the ball to play on.

"He waits in front of the goal and he kills everyone.

"He reminds me of players like (Filippo) Inzaghi, (David) Trezeguet, (Christian) Vieri. He is the new version of these players.

"Can (Pep) Guardiola make Haaland even better? It depends on Guardiola's ego, whether he lets him get bigger than him or not. Because he didn't let me get bigger. Me or others. Not just me, many others..."
