Manchester United striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic insists he would 'make the difference' in the NFL as he meets former New York Giants star Osi Umenyiora ahead of Super Bowl LI

It is perhaps an understatement to say Zlatan Ibrahimovic is a man who has unshakeable faith in his own ability.

The 35-year-old Swede, who has scored 19 goals since joining Manchester United in the summer, is as confident as they come both on the football pitch and in his image away from it - which has now extended to his belief that he would be a star in the NFL if given the chance.

During a meeting with former New York Giants defensive end Osi Umenyiora, which can be viewed in full on the Manchester United website, the striker was asked whether he would fare well in the NFL, to which he replied in a positive fashion.
