There’s only one Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
Anything that isn’t bona fide Zlatan is just a cheap imitation and should be treated as such.
That’s exactly how Manchester United’s talismanic new frontman dealt with a Zlatan impersonator who invaded the field of play to meet his hero…like a tawdry rip off.
The guy, who did actually quite look like the Swedish hitman from afar, managed to get onto the pitch at Old Trafford as United were celebrating a goal in the 4-1 victory of champions Leicester.
The guy ran up to congratulate his iconic doppelganger but Zlatan wasn’t having any of it.
The former PSGÂ striker, who is a black belt at taekwondo and hard as fucking nails, royally pied him off, giving him a swift palm to the face.
Fake Zlatan didn’t seem perturbed and swung his arms around the Number 9 and wouldn’t let go. But cool as you like Zlatan sent the guy and a steward, who had gripped the invader, onto their arses.
The best bit of the whole video is one United fan, who had clearly seen enough pissing about, screamed ‘Get off the pitch you tw*t’ as he was led away.
Classic.
