Today is the 35th birthday of Zlatan Ibrahimovic, and the Manchester United striker seems to be aging like a fine wine- getting better with age. The mercurial Swede became the 6th highest paid player in the world when he left Paris Saint-German to join up at Old Trafford.
His United career got off to a rip roaring start, as he scored at will in United’s first four competitions.
We’re now into another long, tedious international break, meaning actual news is at scarcity. Thus the birthday of Sweden’s national hero, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, is what passes for major news today.
The world logged on to social media today and wished Zlatan a very happy birthday. Here are some of the better Tweet wishes expressed today
