Zlatan Ibrahimovic opens padel tennis centre in Sweden as his Manchester United team-mate Paul Pogba comes along to provide moral support

Zlatan Ibrahimovic's Manchester United career could come to an end this summer but the striker has been busy off the pitch as he has opened his own padel tennis centre in Sweden.

Padel tennis is different to normal tennis in that the court has walls and balls can be played off them. In addition, stringless rackets are used.

Ibrahimovic helped to finance the Padel Zenter and his United team-mate Paul Pogba was in attendance at the opening to provide the 36-year-old with moral support.
