Former England boss Sven Goran Eriksson believes that new Manchester United signing Zlatan Ibrahimovic will have the same effect that Eric Cantona had when he first played for the Red Devils.
“You can’t say for sure, of course, but Zlatan is the same type of charasmatic figure as Cantona so it’s entirely possible he could have the same effect on United as Cantona had all those years ago.
“I am certain United will hope that is the case and if you buy a player like Zlatan you are getting someone who is capable of inspiring the players around him by the way he performs. Cantona did that and helped many of the young players at United at that time.
“Zlatan has had an impact wherever he plays because of his ability and his character so a big club like United is an ideal stage for him.”
