Zlatan Ibrahimovic once threw Gennaro Gattuso into a bin during changing room tussle, former AC Milan star Urby Emanuelson has confirmed.

Speaking to Voetbal International, the Dutchman was answering a query about the best personality he’s played alongside.

In stating Ibrahimovic was that man, he confirmed a story once told by Thiago Silva.

Silva said: “One day, during a training session, Gattuso spent all morning teasing Zlatan. He was provoking him, and Zlatan took it without apparently saying anything. In fact his revenge would come soon after.

“Rino [Gattuso] and Zlatan met again in the dressing room after training, and Ibra lifted the entire weight of his teammate, flipped him over and threw him in the bin!

“It was crazy, we all started laughing thinking about Gattuso’s face. I swear, I couldn’t stop laughing for a week!”
