#4: The God of Manchester

Manchester United v Southampton - EFL Cup Final
The God of Manchester
I admire Cantona and I heard what he said. But I won’t be King of Manchester. I will be God of Manchester.

Former United legend Eric 'The King' Cantona lauded Ibrahimovic's stellar performances on his arrival to the Premier League. The Frenchman also deemed Ibra as his 'natural heir'. Cantona also quoted that it was after a long time that he has found someone who starkly resembles him.

Ibrahimovic does have the aura as that of Cantona. Also, there's a stark resemblance in the way they have had an effect on the club.

But, Cantona did warn Zlatan that there could be only one king, and that was him (Cantona). The above words were his reply to King Eric's claim to the throne. It does feel extraordinarily amazing to watch two similar legends replying each other in their trademark styles.
