Schalke midfielder Benjamin Stambouli has offered an insight into the character of Manchester United striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

Stambouli played with Ibrahimovic at PSG and was close to the Swede.

He told Goal: "Zlatan is very intelligent. You can even notice it on TV by watching him play.

"In his private life, he is even more so. He knows people quickly. He is extremely charismatic and very dominant at the same time. Nevertheless, he laughs at that.

"He laughs at his reputation. But he is also someone who has much confidence in himself."
