Marouane Fellaini: This Manchester Utd star is completely different to what people think
MAROUANE FELLAINI has hailed Zlatan Ibrahimovic as "completely different" to public perception.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic: We have been having a good season
Ibrahimovic, 35, joined Manchester United last summer on a free transfer and has arguably been their player of the season.
The former Paris Saint-Germain striker has scored 17 Premier League goals to keep United in the hunt for a top four place.
He's also been named on the shortlist for the PFA Player of the Year.
And Fellaini was full of praise for his United team-mate, calling him a "great pro".
Marouane Fellaini is a big fan of Zlatan Ibrahimovic
"We came back from holiday at the same time and four of us trained away from the rest of the squad for a week," Fellaini told Belgian magazine SPORT.
"I knew him like everyone else, what he could say, what people said about him, but I immediately liked him.
"He's completely different to what is said about him. Ibra, he's class. Now that he's approaching the end of his career, people start understanding he plays a role, but he plays a good role, and he's a great pro."
