Zlatan Ibrahimovic claims the extreme pressure to chase every single trophy and emerge successful at Manchester United is felt 24 hours a day.
Although sixth-placed United now seems to be out of the Premier League title race, they are still in the hunt for the FA Cup triumph and Europa League along with the EFL Cup final challenge against Southampton.
And Ibrahimovic reveals the need to add to the club’s trophy cabinet is something he is feeling hard.
“If you present a top club like Manchester United that has a great history, a great character you feel the pressure because you have to keep up the rhythm of the club and keep making history,” he was quoted by ESPN.
“At a top club like Manchester [United] the pressure is 24 hours.”
