Ibra To Wear No. 11 Shirt In Second Season With AC Milan

Ibrahimovic, who turns 39 years in October, on Friday posted a photo of himself on social media wearing an AC Milan jersey with the number 11 written over the 21, and his arms wide: "As I said, I'm just warming up".

Three years ago, when getting Man Utd's No.10 shirt, Ibrahimovic claimed that he should always be number 10, saying:

"To me, No 10 is the star. The one who makes the difference, gets noticed, wins the matches and is the leader. And I see myself in that position...

"When I come to a club, it should be in the contract that I will have No 10. At United it was Rooney, he's a legend and someone I respect. But now he has changed clubs."
