Sven-Goran Eriksson has told Omnisport he believes Manchester United striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic will bow out at the top.
Ibrahimovic has scored 26 goals for United since arriving in the summer on a one-year contract with the option of a second year.
It is not yet clear whether that extension will be triggered, and the former Sweden captain has been linked with a lucrative move to MLS club LA Galaxy.
Ex-England boss Eriksson said he had expected the 35-year-old to be a hit in the Premier League and added: "The day he can't do it any more, he will be the first to say stop because he doesn't want to be a failure and he won't be.
