Zlatan Ibrahimovic has hit the ground running at Manchester United and is expected to play a huge role in the Manchester derby. Both Manchester United and Manchester City have made perfect starts to the campaign winning their first 3 matches in convincing manner.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic is Manchester United’s top scorer and he uploaded a video on Instagram sending words of warning to Manchester City’s new signing, goalkeeper Claudio Bravo.
The video shows Zlatan sending a ‘special’ parcel to Claudio Bravo with the caption:
“Welcome to Manchester! Here’s some training gear, you’re gonna need it. See you Saturday.”
Ibrahimovic's spell at the Nou Camp ended with him branding Pep Guardiola a "spineless coward" for speaking to him only twice in six months.By contrast, the Swede regularly showers Mourinho, his coach when at Inter Milan, with praise, labelling him a "manager who lights up a room where Guardiola draws the curtains," an unusually colourful metaphor in football's normally monochrome lexicon.
For Guardiola, Jose Mourinho proved a more persistent threat and the pair publicly clashed, swapping insults and barbed observations at every opportunity.
Jose Mourinho joined his team from Manchester after much debate (within United ranks); with renewed hope, expectations and big money signings. His Manchester United haven’t disappointed since. They have clearly raised their level by a notch or two.
Pep Guardiola joined the Sky Blues after a successful tenure with Bayern Munich and his new team have done just as well as the Red half. They too have clearly raised their level by a notch. In an ordinary, low on quality Premier League, where Leicester were handed the title in season 2015-16; no favours of that sort can be expected from the Manchester teams this season.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic has not lost any of his swagger after coming to the Premier League and his hilarious video message to Bravo shows that he is confident of leaving an impact in the much awaited Manchester derby on Saturday.
Manchester City have their talisman Sergio Aguero banned for three matches and it will be interesting to see how Pep Guardiola will cope without his star man and talisman for the important match with Nolito or youngster Kelechi Iheanacho expected to lead the line for Manchester City.
