When Marcus Rashford — United's great attacking hope for the future — was asked to name the people he looked up to most in the Old Trafford dressing room, the 19-year-old picked Ibrahimovic alongside the club's record goal-scorer.
''Zlatan [Ibrahimovic] and [Wayne] Rooney are the two that stand out the most,” said Rashford.
“Obviously I’ve grown up watching Rooney week in week, week out since I was young. They are the two you look at and try to emulate.”
He added: “For the young players coming up to see his character and the way [Ibrahimovic] approaches every game and his mentality, it’s invaluable.
“Some players can’t bring that when they move clubs so we have to try and learn from him while he’s here and take what we can out of his game.”
Zlatan has scored 13 goals in his last 13 games; a total of 19 in 29 games this season.
