AC Milan legend Van Basten said: "I do not know what to say because I do not like comparisons. Ibrahimovic is a very strong player, spectacular for those who love football because he is capable of great things.

"Fans and people working in the media may compare him with me because he is tall and technically very good. To tell the truth, he is even more physical than me and uses it well on the field. He puts defenders under a lot of pressure with his height.

"Without a doubt he's a great signing for Inter. Ibrahimovic is in the middle of a great moment in his career and it's spectacular for Inter fans and also football fans in general to watch him play."
