As it’s international break time, news is very slow, except for puff pieces and transfer rumors and gossip right now. What follows is about as puff piece as it gets, but it’s still fun and interesting for Manchester United fans everywhere. United midfielder Ander Herrera has hailed striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic as “a genius.”
Ibra has been United’s main scorer this season, and only real genuine scoring threat. He moved to United on a free transfer this past summer from Paris Saint-Germain, and his acquisition has turned out much better than anyone expected. Zlatan seems to be aging like a fine wine.
Herrera told the Spanish publication Marca: “He is a genius. He can say that he will score 30 goals and that he is the best because he can get away with it.
“He is so good that he can do that. Ibrahimovic can very annoying because he wants to win it all, even at football-tennis.”
Ander Herrera also praised goalkeeper David de Gea: “He has a gift in terms of reflexes. He is a goalkeeper that gives you points and if he wants, he can become a legend at United.”
