'I nearly killed Zlatan, maybe he's scared of me' - Jansson hopes to face Man Utd striker again

The Leeds defender faced the striker while on the books at Malmo and is targeting a Premier League reunion, if the Swede does not head back to Italy

Pontus Jansson feels he emerged victorious in a previous battle with Manchester United striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic and hopes to see their paths cross again in the Premier League.

The defender, who has seen his loan switch from Torino turned into a permanent deal at Elland Road, previously met his fellow Swede in a friendly encounter while on the books at Malmo.

Ibrahimovic was turning out for Inter at the time and Jansson believes he bossed a man he admits was a boyhood hero of his growing up.
