Zlatan Ibrahimovic is ready for the Manchester derby.

(Baonghean.vn) -Manchester United's star striker, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, said that the Manchester derby on the evening of September 10th will help him complete his collection of "the most fiercely contested matches on the planet".

Ibrahimovic will lead United's attack, thus making an interesting role reversal in the new clash between the two strategists Jose Mourinho and Pep Guardiola. In Spain, the Swedish striker also participated in a confrontation between the two coaches, but on that occasion he sided with Pep.

Wearing the Barcelona shirt, Ibrahimovic scored the only goal that helped Pep Guardiola defeat Mourinho's Real Madrid. However, in this encounter, Ibra will undoubtedly do everything he can to score against Manchester City, the team Pep is currently managing.

Ibrahimovic and the new Man City manager didn't have a good relationship at Barca, however, participating in El Clasico was an unforgettable experience for Zlatan. Now, he has the chance to taste the flavor of the Manchester derby, which is considered just as exciting as the Real-Barca clash in terms of both professional quality and rivalry.

"Big games always excite me, it's great when everyone is talking about the match," Ibrahimovic said.

Ibrahimovic and Pep Guardiola once fought alongside each other at Barca.

“I’ve played in many famous derbies like Inter-Milan, Ajax vs. Feyenoord, PSG vs. Marseille, and even El Clásico. I’ve been in them all, and the only one I’m missing is the Manchester derby.”

“Saturday is coming up. I’m ready, completely confident and focused, there’s a lot to do in the match. We’ve prepared thoroughly and are just waiting for the match to start.”

“Everyone is talking about the game. The media are constantly reporting on the rivalry between the two halves of Manchester, on the new signings and managers. That’s normal before a big game like this.”

"As for myself, I have experience from similar battles. My teammates and I are all ready. Everyone returned from the national team and quickly resumed intensive training."

Ibrahimovic is the most anticipated player for Manchester United ahead of their clash with their "noisy neighbors" Manchester City this weekend. The match will take place at 6:30 PM Vietnam time.
