Zlatan Ibrahimovic Compares Himself to 'Benjamin Button' Character

Zlatan Ibrahimovic compared himself to Benjamin Button after scoring to help Manchester United beat Sunderland 3-0 at the Stadium of Light in the Premier League on Sunday.

The 35-year-old striker believes he resembles literary and film character Button because he's getting better with age, per Callum Davis of the Daily Telegraph: "I'm getting better and better. Like I said, I feel like Benjamin Button—I was born old but I will die young."

Considering he's scored 17 goals in England's top flight, Ibrahimovic, who has defied the doubters since joining United last summer, may have a point.
