Ibrahimovic to Cantona: I will be God of Manchester

PanARMENIAN.Net - Zlatan Ibrahimovic has responded to Eric Cantona's claim that he cannot be the king of Manchester United, by insisting he will be the GOD of Manchester instead, The Mirror said.

Cantona told Ibrahimovic he could be the “prince” of the city following his switch to Old Trafford, but he would always be the king.

The notoriously eccentric Swede has delivered the perfect one-liner back to the mercurial Frenchman: "I admire Cantona. And I heard what he said.

"But I won’t be King of Manchester. I will be God of Manchester," report Swedish paper Aftonbladet.

Ibrahimovic previously remarked after his departure from Paris Saint-Germain: "I came like a king, I left like a legend."

The former Barcelona striker is expected to start training with the Red Devils this week following his switch to the club on a one-year deal, the Mirror said.

He is looking to add the Premier League title to crowns in the Netherlands, Spain, Italy and France.
