Zlatan Ibrahimovic has plenty of supporters around the world, but former France international striker Christophe Dugarry is not one of them.
The ex-Birmingham City frontman claims the Manchester United superstar cannot be considered ‘a great player’ because he has caused too many problems in the past.
For him, performers such as Lionel Messi epitomize greatness as they are prepared to do their bit for the collective cause, while also shining on an individual level.
Ibrahimovic has been a talismanic presence throughout his career, but he has always welcomed the headlines.
Natural ability and a prolific strike rate do not make him a good team player, and Dugarry feels it is wrong to consider the 35-year-old as an iconic figure of the modern era.
