The very best in any walk of life are not usually just the most gifted but the ones who combine talent and determination.

Surely there can be no better example of this rare combination than Zlatan Ibrahimovic. At 35 years old the Manchester United star just “keeps doing it” as he puts it.

Despite a number of critics questioning Mourinho’s decision to bring him to Old Trafford at the beginning of the season, Zlatan has notched 26 goals for the reds and shows no sign of being finished.

The striker’s brace in yesterday’s EFL Final at Wembley helped secure his manager’s first major trophy for the club and took his own haul to an amazing 32. All United’s players and coaching staff speak of his absolute dedication to professionalism and this could well keep him performing at the highest level for a few more years.
