“He’s just himself no matter where he goes” – Marcus Rashford names ex-Manchester United star as best character he ever played with

Marcus Rashford has named Zlatan Ibrahimovic as the best character he has shared the Manchester United dressing room with. He added that the Swedish great was always himself regardless of the situation.

Ibrahimovic joined the Red Devils in 2016 after his contract at Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) expired. The striker stayed at Old Trafford for 18 months and then left for LA Galaxy as he had lost his starting spot following his ACL injury.

Speaking to Gary Neville on The Overlap, Rashford said that Ibrahimovic was the best character he shared the dressing room with at Manchester United. He said:

​

"Best character I've shared a dressing room with? Probably Zlatan, he's funny. He's just himself no matter where he goes. How he is with the players is how he a fan if he meets them on the street."

In a previous interview, Rashford stated that Ibrahimovic was one of the key reasons for his rise at Old Trafford. He said (via One Football):

​

"His mentality was beyond anything I'd ever played with before. He didn't care what anyone would say or what anyone was saying about him. In terms of mentality, he was key to my development."

Rashford and Ibrahimovic played 43 matches together and assisted each other once.
