I’m an animal, a lion – Ibrahimovic

Zlatan Ibrahimovic has said he “ feels like a lion” after inspiring Manchester United to their EFL Cup final triumph over Southampton on Sunday ,
Soccernet reports .
Ibrahimovic , 35 , scored twice , with the decisive goal coming three minutes from time , as Jose Mourinho ’ s men lifted the trophy at Wembley .
The Swede, United’ s leading scorer with 26 goals this season , has made more appearances than any other member of Jose Mourinho ’ s squad , having played in 38 games so far .
And with United pursuing further silverware in the FA Cup and Europa League , as well as chasing a top - four Premier League finish , Ibrahimovic said , “ I feel fresh. I feel good . I feel like an animal .
“ I ’ m an animal . I feel like a lion. The lion is born a lion.
“ I feel in good shape . I train hard . People who know me from the locker room know that I train very hard .
“ I have an objective every season I go into and to reach that objective I need to train hard and I need to suffer when I train . That is how I achieve what I achieve.
“ I ’ m from the old school where they work hard and get what they get from doing the hard work — not like the new school , where it is easy to get what you want . ”
Despite speculation that he could consider a move to China or United States once his career in Europe is over , Ibrahimovic said , “I will stop on top .
“ I will not play one game by being Ibrahimovic and for what I did before . If I don ’ t perform , if I don ’ t bring results , I will not play .
“ I will not be like other players , playing because they make a great career and name and they are still playing because they are who they are .
“ I will play as long as I can bring results . ”
