Zlatan Ibrahimovic takes the fight to Louis Van Gaal, scores against Manchester United

Zlatan wanted to fight, and it looks like he won.

Mike DiNovo-USA TODAY Sports

Zlatan Ibrahimovic has talked recently about not really liking Louis Van Gaal very much, including saying that they'd likely wind up fighting if he ever played for Manchester United's manager again. He also said he enjoys a good fight, and that certainly seemed to be the case when he and Paris Saint-Germain faced off against Manchester in Chicago.

That’s a gorgeous one-two played with Maxwell, and Zlatan’s run to slip through the defense for the return ball in front of goal is a wonderful highlight of his lethality in front of goal. Zlatan may be 33, but he’s still a top player when he’s fit.
