There’s surely no club with enough room for the testosterone of both Adebayo Akinfenwa and Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
Both strikers are free agents after their contracts ran up with AFC Wimbledon and Paris Saint-Germain respectively.
The veteran Englishman bowed out with a victory-clinching penalty in the Play-Off Final, while his Swedish counterpart sealed cup glory for PSG in his farewell game. So far, so similar (sort of).
And while Ibrahimovic is almost certain to join forces with Jose Mourinho at Manchester United, ‘The Beast’ is no closer to finding a new employer.
Akinfenwa is looking for a new club after powering Wimbledon up to League One and the muscle-bound 34-year-old has reached out to Ibrahimovic on Instagram with a cheeky request for the Swedish forward to take him with him to his new team.

Call us crazy but we don’t see a world in which Jose Mourinho wants to bring ‘Beast Mode’ to Old Trafford this summer.
Still, it’s a top effort from Akinfenwa, who turned down a move stateside last summer. With Ibrahimovic having reportedly held discussions over a move to MLS, perhaps this is the year that the world’s strongest player heads across the Atlantic.
