Ajax, Juventus, Inter Milan, Barcelona, AC Milan and now Paris Saint-Germain—Zlatan Ibrahimovic has played for some of the biggest clubs in world football.

However, he has never played in England and that is a crying shame, according to Manchester United legend Peter Schmeichel.

In fact, the great Dane says that Old Trafford would have been the perfect place for Zlatan, claiming the Swede could have had a similar impact at the club as Eric Cantona. 

Schmeichel told French daily L’Equipe, as per the MailOnline:

Last summer there were rumours that he would come to Manchester United. I then said that Zlatan was built for the club, he was born to play there.

It’s why Cantona was so strong when he was there, not at Leeds or in all other clubs in France? Why? Because it is Manchester United. In Manchester, there was the freedom given to the players, but also responsibilities.

We do not care who you are or what you love, we look at what you’re doing on the pitch and the influence you have in the club. If you do not respect that, you’re leaving.

But you can have any personality. Beckham, Cantona, they could go out and also be at their best. There are hundreds of players who are trying to be a Beckham or Cantona, but do not have the personality, and they fail.

Zlatan is now 33 so a move to Old Trafford seems unlikely, but with Radamel Falcao’s loan unlikely to be renewed and Robin van Persie struggling again with injuries, who knows what might happen?
