Zlatan came to Manchester United in the 2016-17 season on a one-year deal. Manchester was struggling to reach the heights of SAF’s era after his retirement.

Ibrahimovic said, “They’re [Class of 92] not there anymore. They’re on TV and complaining all the time because they’re not active in the club. If you want to work for the club, go search for work in the club. So you cannot be on TV and all this complaining and criticizing. Yeah, you had your time. Okay, we know it. You wanna be seen? Yes. Somebody was not talking when he was active. Suddenly he’s not active and he’s talking a lot.”
