The Uruguayan defender and his defensive partners Sebastian Prodl and Craig Cathcart had near complete dominance of Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Wayne Rooney and co. last weekend, and he's had quite a few things to say about Man United's Swedish no. 9
The former Napoli man said - “It wasn’t the first time I played against him, I did so when he was at Inter and AC Milan.”
“We [Watford] were able to control him - as well as Rooney. He’s a bit arrogant and gets annoyed easily. He really doesn’t like being touched.”
Zlatan, not the shyest of players, has previous against Britos' old side, Napoli -
But he went to echo the sentiments of many others when he added -
"Beyond that, he’s still a phenomenon. He is a complete player and he is also very big and hard to defend.”
Watford had started the season pretty poorly, but are now enjoying a run of two successive victories – very impressive ones at that; coming from two goals behind against West Ham and that comprehensive outplaying of Ibrahimovic's United last weekend.

And it seems that he's enjoying his time in England – as he also claimed that the English top-flight has a much better atmosphere when compared to Serie A
“The fans of each team come to cheer for the players, not just to insult the other side,” said Britos. “It is a party. The stadiums are always full. I am enjoying it more here [than in Italy].”
Despite the stuttering week that Jose Mourinho has suffered over the past week, Britos is also a huge fan of Jose Mourinho and claims that the Portuguese's return, along with Pep Guardiola's arrival at Man City, is “one more plus” for the English Premier League.
United have a tough fixture coming up at home against Leicester, and needs a win against the Champions to keep up pressure on Guardiola and City. Meanwhile, Watford - currently ninth on the table -are away at Burnley – who are 16th and not having the best of starts to the season – and have a real chance to build on the momentum they are building up.
