Zlatan Ibrahimovic, “Ibra”, is a Swedish professional footballer who currently plays for Manchester United. His football career started with Malmö FF when he was 18.

Ibra is one of ten players to get more than 100 caps for the Swedish national team. He is Sweden’s all-time top goal scorer with 62 goals. In Sweden everyone calls him Zlatan.

Ibra is regarded one of the best strikers of all time. He won the Goal of the year in 2013 with a spectacular bicycle kick against England. He is the only player to score in the UEFA Champions League with six different teams and the only player to have won 13 championships in four different leagues.

Hi Sam,
I like Ibrahimoviç I think he is a great soccer player.
He scores loads of great goals.

That was very good Sam, well done. You have so many facts about Ibrahimovic. I didn’t know the majority of the facts you said. He is a top class player I know but I don’t think (in my personal opinion) he is the best player in the premier league.
Hi Sam, I liked your story on Zlatan. I follow the Premier League and I don’t really support a team but if I had to I would support Man United. No offence but I think Zlatan kind of loves himself. I know that Zlatan is a very good soccer player but he can’t just play a match without finding an enemy. Anyway, I liked your story alot and it was very interesting.

Ibrahimoviç is a great player and he is my favourite too ever since he went to PSG. I support Manchester United aswell so I was delighted when I heard about the transfer. I have to admit, United would be way off down the league if it wasn’t for Ibrahimoviç and we could struggle tonight against Chelsea without him. Ibrahimoviç had a rough background as many players do,so fair play to him. Well done this is a very well written story!
