da realbet： Manchester United star Zlatan Ibrahimovic has admitted that he does not need extra rest because he is an “animal”.
da dobrowin： Most players at the age of 35, particularly ones that play in an attacking role, tend to be managed differently than their younger teammates.
Ibrahimovic has been ever-present in the United team since his summer arrival on a free transfer, scoring 13 Premier League goals so far, making him the second highest scorer in the division.
The former Sweden international has helped the Red Devils win the last seven matches, and it was during a crucial period when fixtures were coming thick and fast.

It remains to be seen whether Ibrahimovic will be rested for today’s FA Cup clash against Reading, but the man himself feels in good shape. He told United’s official website:
“The boss has made a good programme for me since the start. He has been adapting my physical point of view and the way I can play every game. He has to get the credit for that. The mixture between training, recovery and the game, I do it differently, and he set it up for me.
“So that’s why I can hold out for so long. And, when you have a body like me, it’s not a normal body. It’s like when you see an animal. It goes in and is fresh always so I see myself as an animal.”
With regards to United’s Premier League form, they currently sit sixth in the standings after winning their last six matches on the trot.
They remain 10 points adrift of leaders Chelsea, but they can move to within one points of second place if they defeat arch rivals Liverpool next Sunday.
