Manchester United have been advised by former goalkeeping legend Peter Schmeichel to attempt to sign Paris-Saint-Germain forward Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
With reports in recent weeks suggesting that the Swedish striker could be on his way out of France, Schmeichel insists that the player could become an icon at Old Trafford, just like Eric Cantona.
He told L’Equipe: “What he does with PSG is incredible. He gives so much credibility and visibility to PSG. This is someone who takes his responsibilities.”
“Last summer there were rumours that he would come to Manchester United. I then said that Zlatan was built for the club, he was born to play there.”
“It’s why Cantona was so strong when he was there, not at Leeds or in all other clubs in France? Why? Because it is Manchester United.”
“In Manchester, there was the freedom given to the players, but also responsibilities.”
“We do not care who you are or what you love, we look at what you’re doing on the pitch and the influence you have in the club. If you do not respect that, you’re leaving.”
