AC Milan forward Zlatan Ibrahimovic still feels strong as a young man after celebrating his 40th birthday.

Ibra, who blew out the candles on his 40th birthday on Sunday, October 3, is still recovering from a hamstring injury sustained during his comeback game against Lazio. and scored 1 goal before getting hurt again 

The veteran spearhead revealed, “At 40, I still feel young. Another year has already passed. Now I’m waiting for the day to go back to the field again. I have a few injuries that need treatment.” 

Asked for his opinion on the Scudetto title race now with Milan two points behind Napoli, Ibra responded in his own style. 

“The team that will be the champion? Where is Zlatan playing? At Milan, right? Then it would be Milan,” the Swedish striker said.

Ibrahimovic posted a photograph of the Ferrari on Instagram, alongside the message “Happy Birthday to Zlatan”.

Last season’s top scorer for Milan is targeting a return to action after this month’s international break, insisting he was fighting fit and not even thinking about retirement.

“Now I want to play as much as possible,” he told Milan TV on Sunday. “I don’t feel like saying that I have reached the next step (retirement), I still feel stronger than ever, I can bring results and satisfy the fans.

“I am more relaxed, more calm, with a lot of experience. I have a different approach and behaviour because I have another role on and off the pitch. I enjoy it more, not doing everything at 200 miles per hour. I take my time.”

Ibrahimovic signed a one-year contract extension in April that has taken him into his 40s in Lombardy.
