Zlatan Ibrahimovic ’s touted move to Manchester United looks unlikely after Louis van Gaal hinted the striker was too
old. The 34- year- old Sweden international looks set to leave Paris Saint - Germain this summer and he is believed to favour a
move to the Premier League .
“We need to improve our selection [squad] , because when I took over we had
six or seven players above 33 years old , ” Van Gaal told Swedish TV station Viasat.
“Nobody knows that anymore because now they are gone . But now we have a much
younger team and still we need a much younger selection because we need
creative players in attack and also fast players.
“I think it is unbelievable what he (Ibrahimovic ) is doing. I saw the game against Manchester City, and it was a big disappointment for me because he should have scored two times at least .
“Paris Saint - Germain is Zlatan and that is fantastic . When a manager like me , who
favours the team [above the individual ], is saying that, that is a compliment for him .
“But he ’s already 34 and I just spoke about the age [ of the players] I let go .”
