Zlatan Ibrahimovic might have lived in Paris, Barcelona and Milan but claims drizzly Manchester tops the lot.
Manchester
United's No 9, who scored twice in the weekend win over Swansea City,
was residing at the Radisson Blu Hotel on Deansgate after moving to
England.
There
he was constantly harassed - hotel staff even calling Greater
Manchester Police at one point - but the Swede says he has taken to the
North West. It's understood he moved to a house in Hale with his wife
and children in September.
I heard a lot of things that the city is this, the city is that, the weather is like this and the weather is like that but, so far, everything has been good,' Ibrahimovic told Inside United.
'The city is the best city so far. I come from Sweden, I don't have big expectations when it comes to outside football.'
Ibrahimovic has also enjoyed Amsterdam and Turin during an eclectic career but added he has never been one for sightseeing.
'I'm pretty simple, I'm a family guy. For me, they come in the first phase, the rest is less important,' he said.
'For
example, when I was living in Paris, in four years I didn't go to see
the Eiffel Tower once – I wanted them to change the Eiffel for my statue
but they didn't do it! Maybe if they do it now, I will go to visit!'
Ibrahimovic's
two goals in Swansea were his first in the Premier League since
September 10 and there had been growing criticism that the 34-year-old
was not offering enough to Jose Mourinho.
The
former PSG, Barca, AC Milan, Juventus and Inter Milan goalscorer
believes United are on the cusp of stringing results together - and
insists they have the ability to win titles this year.
'The
pieces are there, we just need to put the puzzle together,' Ibrahimovic
said. 'We have a mix of ages - experienced players, young players, the
quality is there.
'I
think we can achieve big things. I said after the Liverpool game and I
said it before that we just need to find the click where we find each
other.
'Every
day that goes by, the more you get to know each other and it becomes
like a family. You know what you need - I know what I need to do to get
the maximum out of my team-mates and the same thing on the other side,
they know what they need to bring that out of me.'
