​Ibrahimovic had kitman shaking when he arrived at Man Utd - Mata

Published on: 07 December 2017

Zlatan Ibrahimovic is already a hero at Manchester United, despite only a season and a half at the club.

And as the Swede eases back into the first team following a knee injury, Juan Mata recalls an early experience with the big striker.

Mata spoke about Ibrahimovic with FourFourTwo magazine.

"The day he arrived, we were away on pre-season, so he was on his own with the kit men at the training ground," said Mata.

"They had never met him before and he's the sort of guy that garners instant respect because of the way he carries himself.

"Zlatan apparently looked the kit men up and down and said: I hope you know God has arrived.

"The kit men were shaking and didn't know what to think, then he fell about laughing with them. He always does that."
