A ball has yet to be kicked but Zlatan Ibrahimovic is already adding to the entertainment of the Premier League.
The famously modest Swede has joined Jose Mourinho at Manchester United and told fans when he signed: “I come to win”.
Ladies and gentlemen, Zlatan Ibrahimovic. #ZlatanTime https://t.co/D0pgGpG8zQ

His signing was welcomed by Old Trafford legend Eric Cantona but he also warned Ibrahimovic that there could be only one king of Manchester.
“You can be the prince if you want to,” Cantona said in a video for Eurosport.
It’s all entertaining but jump to the two minute mark to see his comments on Zlatan.

Eric Cantona’s back… and he has a message for Zlatan Ibrahimovic!https://t.co/MMriXan7Gx
Zlatan being Zlatan, a response was expected and he didn’t disappoint us.
“I admire Cantona. And I heard what he said,” he told Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet.
“But I won’t be King of Manchester. I will be God of Manchester.”
It’s going to be an entertaining season.
