Ibrahimovic says he made his critics “eat their balls”

Manchester United striker, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, has said he made his critics “eat their balls”, as he continues to impress in the Premier League.

The Swede arrived as a free agent from Paris Saint-Germain last summer and there were doubts whether he could perform in England at 35.

Ibrahimovic has however scored 17 times already in all competitions since his arrival.

“It gives me a lot of energy, trust me,” Ibrahimovic said of his critics after ending 2016 with 50 goals .

“I came to the Premier League and everyone thought it would not be possible but, like always, I make them eat their balls.

“A lot of energy, because they get paid to talk s*** and I get paid to play with my feet – that’s how I enjoy it.

“I had a fantastic year. At PSG it was amazing, and I came to United and my first six months here have been more than amazing.

“I’m super-happy and I feel good. I don’t know how many years I have left, but I’m enjoying the football. Every year, they [United] have been calling me and they were not feeling good, so I wanted to come when everyone thought I was over [the hill].”
