Manchester United legend Eric Cantona is a big fan of Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
What has impressed Eric so much is the Swede's support for the young players in the squad, something Cantona feels strongly about having helped the Class of '92 youngsters settle into the first team back in the 1990s.
“He is a great player and a strong personality, he played for Milan, he played for Barcelona so he knows all the about the pressure, he understands it and he has proved that he is also a great man," Cantona told manutd.com. “There are two kinds of older players, the ones that don't like the young ones because they want to play and they can destroy them, and the others who will help.
“I remember when I was 17, I played with [Andrzej] Szarmach. He was Polish, he played in two World Cup semi-finals, he was a great player and he helped me so much. I remember this and said to myself when I am older, I will try to do the same, and I'm sure Ibrahimovic does the same.
"He is very helpful for young players because he is a great player with a strong personality, and he is the right older player who wants to help the younger ones. It's very important to have an experienced player who gives examples to the other ones."
