Swansea City winger Modou Barrow admits he's excited by the prospect of facing Manchester United star Zlatan Ibrahimovic this season.

Barrow admits Ibrahimovic was a huge influence on his decision to leave Africa in search of football fame.

He told Expressen: "I looked up to Zlatan already when I was a kid in Gambia. I thought I'd move in with Zlatan when I moved from Gambia to Sweden when I was eleven!

"Zlatan Ibrahimovic is the idol of all Swedes.

"It will be a really fun game. He is one of the best players I've seen. I was at home and visited friends and family in Sweden last week, and everybody wants tickets to the game."
