As the match between the two teams that once went well, the match from the time the draw was announced has been called the best box office check in this UEFA Europa League round of 16. And another, one of the key points of this confrontation is Ibrahimovic.
The image of a Milan Living Legend is strong, but before joining Milan, Manchester United was the last club Ibrahimovic played in Europe. It was short but strong. That is why Ibrahimovic is a memory for Manchester United fans as well.
McTomini, who was a colleague at Manchester United, also recalled his memories with Ibrahimovic. So what kind of player was Ibrahimovic that McTomini thinks?
According to this media (Goal.com) Global Edition, McTomini said, “I was an unrecognized player. I will not say anything more.” It was a big presence in the room,” he recalled.

He continued, “He was a ruthless player in that he wanted to win 24 hours a day. Otherwise, he would not have succeeded, and it would have been difficult. So it was better to play harder to win. Otherwise, he had a difficult time. I will do it,” he added.
“Ibrahimović is clearly a player with a legendary career, so there is nothing to do except to praise him. Sometimes he is a tough player, but this was positive.”
Unfortunately, Ibrahimovic is expected to miss the first leg of the UEFA Europa League match between Manchester United and Milan. In early March, due to an injury to Rome, Ibrahimovic was judged out of three weeks. The second round scheduled for next week is also a question mark. In the aftermath of Ibrahimovic’s injury, both teams are expected to play the Ibrahimovic derby without Ibrahimovic.
