Ibrahimovic will lead MU?

Zlatan Ibrahimovic likes the idea of ​​becoming a manager in the future. It won't happen anytime soon but it's a conceivable prospect, given he's already a leader at Manchester United.

According to The Sun, Jose Mourinho has discussed future plans with Zlatan Ibrahimovic. He wants his student to go into coaching because he sees leadership qualities in Ibra.

Ibra is a man born for football.

As a born footballer, it is hard to imagine the Swedish striker taking afternoon walks, fishing or anything else after his playing career ends. He will certainly stick to the ball and becoming a coach is a good suggestion.

Everyone wants to stand next to Ibra

However, it will not happen soon because Ibra said, he "does not see the end for at least two, three years". At the moment, the passion and desire in him are still flowing. And importantly, there is no sign that the 34-year-old striker is tired.

After 3 Premier League matches, Ibra played the full 270 minutes, touched the ball 150 times, leading the MU and the tournament's scoring list (3). Mourinho thought that was a bit much for a man who was only a few days away from turning 35. He allowed him 4 days off, instead of 2 like others during international break.

“Don’t do this to me,” the Daily Star quoted Ibrahimovic as saying. He didn’t like the special treatment and wanted to be treated like the other nine teammates who weren’t on international duty. He said he would return to Carrington early. His stubbornness led to Mourinho banning him from the training ground before Thursday.

Ibra does not need Mou's favor.

This detail alone shows the professionalism of the Swedish striker, and also explains why he receives respect from his teammates at Old Trafford.

They first met him at Carrington, in a summer rainstorm, and were immediately drawn to the man described as “half ballerina, half gangster”. Naturally, Ibra became a mentor to Paul Pogba in his early days, chatting to Marcus Rashford about his arm tattoos and giving him on-pitch instructions. Young players always wanted to sit next to him at lunch at Carrington.

Everyone was eager to learn from Ibra and soon acknowledged he was a leader, both on the pitch and in the dressing room.

Great leader

A difficult childhood in Rosengard has shaped the “Zlatan against the world” individualist who is often described as arrogant, conceited and self-centered. Some of the players at United have been a little wary of that.

However, it didn't take long for them to realize that behind the giant figure and harsh criticisms was a big heart. He once said that he always put himself in the second position to bring joy to others.

All want to go under the leadership of Saint Zlatan.

Only satisfied when the people love happy, that is Ibra's motto. Therefore, he is harsh with himself, his teammates to complete the goals, end the war as a winner. When fighting beside him, others feel protected and have strong faith, Ibra never brings disappointment.

It’s the same with Mourinho’s players. Mourinho and Ibra are “come with me” type of leaders, pushing everyone to perform at their best by leading by example. They will be the first to throw themselves into the fire and the last to come out when they win.

One day we may see an Ibrahimovic as a manager, with those qualities. Maybe at Manchester United, as a successor to Mourinho.
