Manchester United midfielder Scott McTominay admits he found AC Milan striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic ruthless as a teammate.

McTominay broke into United's first team during Ibrahimovic's two-year spell at the club, in which the Swede scored 29 goals in 53 games and won the Europa League and the Carabao Cup.

"[He was] ruthless," he said in an interview with UEFA, ahead of their Europa League tie. "I'm not going to say too much more than that.

"Good professional, worked hard, big, big presence in the dressing room in terms of his voice and the way that he is with people.

"He's a ruthless guy in terms of the way he wants to win 24/7. If you're not on the same page as him, then you won't succeed under him.

"He'll make life hard for you, so you'd better work hard at winning, otherwise it'll be a tough time for you.

"I love guys like that in football. He's obviously had a legendary career which is a real credit to him, and obviously to his family as well, so I have nothing but big praise for him.

"He's a tough guy to be around sometimes, but that's the positive - I can be [tough to be around] as well."
