Ibrahimovic honoured by statue tribute

Manchester United striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic has spoken of his pride to MUTV after it was announced that a statue will be erected in his honour in his homeland of Sweden.

On Monday, the Swedish FA revealed plans to build a monument of the frontman outside the Friends Arena in Stockholm, after he had collected the country’s Golden Ball award for the 11th time.

It’s a fitting tribute to the widely-travelled star, who scored a record 62 goals in 116 appearances for Sweden before retiring from international duty in the summer.
