Manchester United striker Romelu Lukaku says he appreciated his time with Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
Although the Belgian forward was only teammates with LA Galaxy striker Ibrahimovic for half a season following his arrival from Everton in the summer of 2017, that didn't stop the Swede from making a big impression.
“Everything I learned from Zlatan was great, from his stories that he told me when he was at Inter, AC Milan, Barcelona and even Ajax, to being on the field working with him, seeing how competitive he was," Lukaku told ManUtd.com.
"I remember one training session. Because we were both strikers, we were never on the same team and, at one point, there was a 50/50 challenge. He went full-on against me!
“That is when I knew this guy wants to compete and this guy wants to fight for his spot. That is why he changed me. It was an eye-opener. The guy had to fight to be in the position he is in.
“So, I learned just to focus, work hard and enjoy it as well. Because he is a guy who you can have a lot fun with as well and having his personality in the dressing room was good."
