Zlatan Ibrahimovic could be Manchester United's next Eric Cantona.

That is the opinion of the Swedish striker's former national teammate Pontus Kamark who feels the 34-year-old brings with him to Old Trafford a winning mentality, just like Frenchman Cantona did when he arrived from Leeds United in 1992.

"I think he is a good player for Manchester United and see him almost like an Eric Cantona," Kamark told the Daily Mirror.

"Man United have lost in recent years a little bit of their profile and slipped from being a winning team.

"When David Moyes came he even said in the derby against Man City, 'We are not the favourites'. You don't say that as a Man United player and Zlatan would never say that either.

"I think in that aspect he is a winner and he might help the team in the future.

"He is not young but if they can get the best out of Zlatan for a season or one-and-a-half seasons I think that could be very beneficial for Man United."
