Why Zlatan Ibrahimovic, 39, is only getting better with age at AC Milan

Zlatan Ibrahimovic has started the 2020/21 season on fire with AC Milan.

The 39-year-old is Serie A’s top scorer with seven games in his first four matches since signing a one-year contract extension in August.

His goals have also helped AC Milan climb to the top of Serie A, four points ahead of reigning champions Juventus.

Despite turning 40 next year, Ibrahimovic has been involved in ten goals in seven games in all competitions.

The Swedish striker re-joined Milan for a third time in January and scored 11 goals in his comeback season.

And it was enough to offer him a new deal with the Italian giants hoping to mount a title challenge this term.

Last week, AC Milan boss Stefano Pioli revealed Ibrahimovic ALWAYS wants to play.

He said: ”I won’t ask Zlatan if he wants to play, because I already know the answer.

“I have many starters and I will field the best team.

“If I ask Ibra if he feels like it, he will always tell me yes.”
