In shape and in form, Ibrahimovic setting bar high at United
MANCHESTER, England — Zlatan Ibrahimovic was weeks away from joining Manchester United when he was asked if, at 34, he could still cut it in what is widely regarded as the world’s most grueling league.
“Age is just a number,” Ibrahimovic said, calmly. “I’m not worried at all.”
The English Premier League is discovering this was not just bluster and bravado from a player with seemingly limitless amounts of self-confidence.
At a time when games are coming thick and fast in the English season, Ibrahimovic is proving to be a standard-bearer in keeping fit and staying healthy.
