(Baonghean.vn) -Man Utd striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic said the Manchester derby on the evening of September 10 will help him complete his collection of "the most hostile matches on the planet".

Ibrahimovic will lead the United attack, thereby swapping roles in an interesting new battle between the two strategists Jose Mourinho and Pep Guardiola. In Spain, the Swedish striker also participated in a confrontation between the two coaches above, but at that time he sided with Pep.

Playing for Barcelona, ​​Ibrahimovic scored the only goal that helped Pep defeat Mourinho's Real Madrid. However, in this confrontation, Ibra will certainly do his best to score against Man City, the team Pep is leading.

Ibrahimovic and the new Man City coach had a bad relationship at Barca, but participating in El Clasico was also an unforgettable memory for Zlatan. Now, he is facing the opportunity to taste the flavor of the Manchester derby, which is considered to be as attractive as the confrontation between Real - Barca in both professional quality and hostility.

“Big games always excite me, it's great that everyone is talking about the game,” Ibrahimovic said.
