Ander Herrera is full of praise for Ibra
Manchester United midfielder Ander Herrera also spoke highly of the Swede.
"He's unbelievable," said Herrera. "He doesn’t lose one training session. He trains every day at his best trying to get everyone at their highest level; He is very, very aggressive and demanding but in a good way because every day he wants to win every training session and he wants everyone with him to win to keep working so we are very lucky to have Zlatan with us.”
"If you see a game and you don’t know Zlatan’s age you could think he was only 28 or 29 and that is good for us,” added Herrera.
"He's an example for every one of us, not just the young players. I am not young, not old, I’m in the middle at 26 and he is an example for me as well. When you behave as a professional you can be at a top club at 35.”
