Zlatan Ibrahimovic has come up with the best use of the Europa League trophy we’ve seen yet

He's done it again

Patrick McCarry

Number 33.

You surely didn’t think Zlatan Ibrahimovic wasn’t keeping count of the major trophies he has won in his football career?

The Swedish striker may have missed Manchester United’s season run-in but he was front and centre for Europa League celebrations at Stockholm’s Friends Arena, last night.

Ibrahimovic was the first player through the phalanx of respectful Ajax players and he was all set for a snap with Eric Bailly and the Europa League [formerly the Uefa Cup] trophy. Marcos Rojo tried to get in on the picture but Zlatan wasn’t having it.

All right mate, here we go… 

Not you Rojo!

That’s better

Ibrahimovic was right in the thick of celebrations on and off the pitch as he went from crutches, to hobbling about unaided and even attempting a jig with United teammate Paul Pogba.

When the squad piled back to the dressing room, Ibrahimovic got his hands on the trophy again. To date, we haven’t seen a better use for the trophy yet.

Another season conquered by Zlatan.
