(Reuters) - Zlatan Ibrahimovic is sure he
will win the Premier League with
Manchester United and says his
performances will improve once he picks up
the rhythm of the English game.
The 35-year-old has scored six league goals
since the start of the season, including two
against Swansea City at the weekend that
ended a two-month league drought.
United have stuttered in the first months
of Jose Mourinho's reign at Old Trafford
and are sixth in the table, and while not
giving up on the title, Ibrahimovic said the
team need to improve to challenge the likes
of early pace setters Liverpool Chelsea and
Manchester City.
"If I could win the Premier League, the next
day I would stop playing football... almost.
Hopefully I can win it, and I will win it," he
told the club's website. (www.manutd.com)
"We have been a little bit unlucky in certain
games, but we believe. When you believe it
will come."
Ibrahimovic said the fact that United have
failed to mount a title challenge in three
seasons of decline after the retirement of
Alex Ferguson means they must work even
harder to restore their place at the top of
English football.
"From just below to the top, I think there is
a big difference. After a couple of years if
you haven't been on the top of the table
you notice it, you feel it. That's what we
are working for," he said.
"I've missed pretty good chances, which I
don't (usually) see myself doing, but it's a
different game here.
"I know I can do more, I know the team
can do more. I want to do more. I will do
more. We're in that first phase where you
get to know each other, where you get to
know the game also."
Ibrahimovic has won titles in four different
countries and played at Ajax Amsterdam,
Juventus, Inter Milan, Barcelona and AC
Milan. The Swede has won a trophy in each
season since 2001.
"I think the club is massive. I've played in
other massive clubs. Every club I played
(for) is massive. If it was not massive, it
became massive when I came, so same
thing," he added.
"You can see the intention of what the club
is doing is not local, it's global, to reach out
worldwide. And in that way, it's huge."
