What happens when an iconic player such as Zlatan Ibrahimovic celebrates his birthday? Does the football world wish him all the best as with other players? The answer is short and simple: no!
A player of Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s status demands something special when his age goes up by a year, and something special he received.
The Swedish striker turns 35 today, on October 3. Despite his age, none can deny that the former PSG ace is still a lethal forward.
Fans took to Twitter to wish the Man United star a happy birthday. Given the player’s big but always entertaining ego, he was treated to unique and hilarious tweets. Check out some of the best below.

Zlatan, having played across six different European leagues, has won silverware everyone he has gone. This even includes England, where he won the FA Community Shield in his first competitive game for the Red Devils.
Unfortunately, he won’t be able to win the one trophy that has evaded him – the Champions League – this season, as Ibrahimovic plays on Thursdays in 2016/17.
