Zlatan Ibrahimovic took advantage of an interview with ESPN to praise his former Barcelona team-mate Lionel Messi.
The Manchester United striker, who often uses interviews to play up to his own ego, described the Argentine as a "unique footballer"
Ibrahimovic and Messi were at Barça together in 2009-10 but the Swede left after a year despite having arrived as a star. The problem was he didn't adapt to Pep Guardiola's methods, with the team built around Messi.
Despite that, Zlatan has never not praised Messi -- although it's another thing with Guardiola.
Asked about him in an interview with ESPN, he said: "I think Messi is one of a kind. I don't know if we will see another player do the things that he does because he has his style and to become that player, I don't think it's possible.
"I had the luck to see him every day, I said before, it's like playing PlayStation: You give the ball to the guy and you start to go through every player and that's who Messi is."
