Manchester United striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic has made the surprise claim that he’s enjoying living in Manchester more than any other city throughout his career so far.

The former Sweden international has played for major clubs such as AC Milan, Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain, all of whom are based in slightly more glamorous locations than the Red Devils.

Still, Ibrahimovic is loving his life in England, despite admitting he’d heard less than flattering things about Manchester and the weather in the UK.

‘I heard a lot of things that the city is this, the city is that, the weather is like this and the weather is like that but, so far, everything has been good,’ Ibrahimovic told ManUtd.com.




‘The city is the best city so far. I come from Sweden, I don’t have big expectations when it comes to… how do you say it… outside football.’

Ibrahimovic added that he isn’t too bothered about spending a lot of time out on the town, preferring to be more of a family man – so much so that he claims never to have even visited the Eiffel Tower during his four years in the French capital.

‘I’m pretty simple, I’m a family guy. For me, they come in the first phase, the rest is less important.

‘For example, when I was living in Paris, in four years I didn’t go to see the Eiffel Tower once – I wanted them to change the Eiffel for my statue but they didn’t do it! Maybe if they do it now, I will go to visit!’
