After his double to hand Manchester United the EFL Cup over the weekend, superstar forward Zlatan Ibrahimovic has described himself as a lion as he continues to defy his age and critics in the Premier League.
Zlatan, who also goes by the moniker King, god, Indiana Jones, has now added an animal to that list after making the revered Wembley stage his own on Sunday.
The 35-year-old Swede opened the scoring with a first-half free-kick and won the match in the dying minutes to take his tally to 26 goals in all competitions since joining the Red Devils on a free last summer.
And the bad news is: he has no plans to slow down despite all he’s achieved in his illustrious career thus far, Goal writes.
“What I bring, I bring a package. I bring my experience from the other clubs I’ve been in, I bring what I have achieved, I bring the person that I am,” Ibrahimovic said Monday.
“I’m an animal. I feel like a lion. The lion is born a lion. It means I’m a lion!
“I feel in good shape. I train hard. People who know me from the locker room know that I train very hard.
“I have an objective every season I go into. And to reach that objective I need to train hard and I need to suffer when I train that is how I achieve what I achieve.
“I’m from the old school where they work hard and get what they get from doing the hard work, not like the new school where it is easy to get what you want.”
There you have it: United’s Lion King has ROARED!
