Zlatan Ibrahimovic got tired of security in Manchester.
Then he came with a clear reply to the staff.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic was not directly praised by the critics in England. During his years at big clubs such as Inter, Milan, Barcelona and PSG, he had made huge impressions and completely conceded goals, but in England they were still not very impressed.
Criticism of United
Many experts said that Ibrahimovic would not be able to play in the Premier League, and it was therefore expectant when he chose to leave PSG for games in Manchester United, in the summer of 2016. Ibrahimovic also made a breakthrough immediately, and it is clear to summarize the time in England as clearly approved for the superstar.
But Ibrahimovic has said in retrospect that he was not overly impressed with how the club was run. Manchester United is one of the world’s biggest clubs, which Ibrahimovic did not seem to notice, as he reacted strongly to the fact that the club actually deducted just over ten kroner from Zlatan’s salary every time he took a juice. But there were more things that Zlatan bothered about.
The pure mockery
He writes in his latest book that he was really saddened by the security around the training facility that the club had – so much so that in the end he felt compelled to resign.
“Every day they asked me to show ID because I would be allowed to enter the gym. I rolled down the car window and said to the guy at the gate: ‘Listen now, buddy, I’ve been here every day for a month now. I’m the best player in the world. If you still do not recognize me, you have the wrong job ‘”, Ibrahimovic writes in the book.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic made 33 league appearances for United over the years in England, where he accounted for a total of 17 goals. After his stay there, he moved to the LA Galaxy, but he returned to European top football in 2020, for games in AC Milan, where he became league champion this weekend.
