When it comes to Zlatan Ibrahimovic, only the best will do. Such high standards are the reason why the Swede has enjoyed such a successful career and that attitude is the same off the pitch as it is on it.

Having completed a move to Manchester United, last month, Ibrahimovic has not yet found a permanent residence and has instead spent time in two different hotels, first the Lowry Hotel and now the Radisson Blu.

The former Sweden captain, his wife Helena and their children were believed to have opted out of staying at the Lowry after being swarmed by fans, pestering for autographs and photos. However, it has now come to light that the former PSG and Barcelona striker was miffed that the five star residence didn't have a swimming pool.

Ibrahimovic's United career, which has come during the twilight of a legendary run of success, several years later than it should have, is eerily similar to the way in which WCW icon Sting, in his mid 50's, finally relented and signed with the WWE in 2014 for the last couple of big matches in his glittering career (show me a person who hasn't made that analogy and I'll show you a liar). And it started off in the most Zlatan of fashions in Gothenburg, last night as the Red Devil's new number nine bicycle kicked home the opening goal of a 5-2 victory over Galatasary, just four minutes into his debut.





A sign of things to come? Jose Mourinho will certainly be hoping so.
