Manchester United look likely to score a big-name signing this summer and it might not be Cristiano Ronaldo or Gareth Bale.
United legend Peter Schmeichel believes PSG forward and all round legend, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, would be the perfect fit for Louis van Gaal’s side.
Speaking to l’Equipe, the Dane said: “What he does with PSG is incredible. He gives so much credibility and visibility to PSG. This is someone who takes his responsibilities.
“Last summer there were rumours that he would come to Manchester United. I then said that Zlatan was built for the club, he was born to play there.”
There has been many similarities pointed out between Ibrahimovic and United icon Eric Cantona and Schmeichel reckons the Swedish striker could handle the gig.
“It’s why Cantona was so strong when he was there, not at Leeds or in all other clubs in France? Why? Because it is Manchester United. In Manchester, there was the freedom given to the players, but also responsibilities.
“We do not care who you are or what you love, we look at what you’re doing on the pitch and the influence you have in the club. If you do not respect, you’re leaving.
“But you can have any personality. Beckham, Cantona, they could go out and also be at their best. There are hundreds of players who are trying to be a Beckham or Cantona, but do not have the personality, and they fail.”
Balotelli and Ibra in the same league? Yes please!
