Chelsea manager Antonio Conte has agreed with the notion that Zlatan Ibrahimovic has only improved with age and feels the Manchester United striker is at the peak of his form.
The Swede joined Manchester United last summer on a free transfer from Paris Saint-Germain and has defied all expectations by already netting 28 goals in all competitions this season for the Jose Mourinho’s side.
Manchester United will again rely on him heavily on Sunday when Chelsea visit Old Trafford and Ibrahimovic will be looking to make an impression against the league leaders.
The veteran striker recently said that he is only getting better with age and Conte agrees with Ibrahimovic, adding that he is at the peak of his career at the ripe age of 35.
The Chelsea boss feels Ibrahimovic is one of the best in the world and has become more of a team player with age and maturity.
