Man Utd ace Ibrahimovic: Premier League a challenge (unlike Ligue 1)

Manchester United striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic says playing in the Premier League is testing him - unlike Ligue 1.

The former PSG star has scored four goals in his first three competitive games for United, including a brace against Southampton.

He told L'Equipe: "If the team is good, the individuals are too. I try to do what I know well, to help my teammates, create opportunities and score goals. I'm happy for the team.

"It gets better, it's a good start. We must get used to winning, the mind is important. I have to get used to everybody and to our style of play. Everything is new.

"Here the game is harder than in France and you have to work throughout the game. When the chance arises, I must stay focused because I have less chances than in France.

"It does not matter how I score."
