Zlatan Ibrahimovic performs incredible stunt in swimming pool as former Man United and Barcelona star shows his ability is still intact

Former Manchester United star Zlatan Ibrahimovic has shown that his ability remains intact by performing a spectacular swimming pool stunt.
The 43-year-old, who retired in 2023, had a penchant for scoring acrobatic goals during his career.
Perhaps his most memorable strike came for Sweden against England in 2012 when Ibrahimovic scored an unbelievable overhead kick from 30 yards out.
Ibrahimovic evoked memories of that goal by performing an overhead kick in a swimming pool in a post on social media.
Since December 2023, Ibrahimovic has worked as a senior advisor at his former club AC Milan.
He represented a host of high-profile clubs during a trophy-laden career.

After starting out at Malmo, Ibrahimovic joined Ajax and later went on to play for Juventus, Inter Milan and Barcelona.
In addition, he had two spells at AC Milan and also spent time at Paris Saint-Germain, Manchester United and LA Galaxy.
Despite his stellar reputation during his playing days, Ibrahimovic hasn't escaped criticism from AC Milan's ultras since becoming an advisor.
Milan endured a disappointing campaign as they ended up finishing in eighth place in Serie A.
Ahead of the final game of the season against Monza last month Milan ultras were seen holding banners and hurling insults in protest against the club's hierarchy.
A statement from the Milan ultras read: 'This is the best response we could give, because there is no curva, club, red, orange: there are only Milanisti and Milanismo. Things that those in that building have forgotten a long time ago.
'We are back in this square three years after celebrating the best Scudetto ever. After celebrating the return to the Champions League along with Paolo Maldini.'
The ultras reserved specific criticism for Ibrahimovic, who they claimed was responsible for the 'disaster' which saw Milan's reserve team suffer relegation to Serie D in their first season in professional football.

Man Utd urged to complete shock transfer for 'physical' Premier League star

Manchester United have been urged to sign 'physical' Premier League star Beto from Everton this summer in what would be a shock move. United head coach Ruben Amorim is keen for a new-look strike force at Old Trafford with the Red Devils linked to a number of attacking players. Matheus Cunha has already joined United from Wolves and Amorim is reportedly keen to recruit Viktor Gyokeres from his old club Sporting CP. But Fernando Lopes is convinced that Beto would be a better choice for United, despite the striker scoring just 15 goals in 71 games for Everton. Lopes, the president of Portuguese club Uniao Tires, where Beto started his career, told The Sun: 'Everyone thought Amorim would sign Gyokeres as he had him at Sporting – but the Premier League is completely different to Portugal. Wake up to find news on your club in your inbox every morning with Metro's Football Newsletter. Sign up to our newsletter and then select your team in the link so we can send you football news tailored to you. 'Teams are more physical and compact at the back, it is quicker and more competitive. 'Gyokeres would struggle to play as a lone No. 9 waiting for service. 'Beto's a more physical player, who fights with defenders and doesn't lose duels. 'He is a real headache for opponents – if he gets the service. 'In their golden era, United always scored a lot of goals from set-pieces but haven't had a proper striker for many seasons. 'Nowadays, teams have small, quick strikers or a false forward because there is an obsession for possession of the ball. 'Beto represents the typical old style, because of his physique, power and work-rate – plus he is very fast. 'When [David] Moyes went to Everton he showed what a handful he is for defenders to stop. 'He'd be like Amorim's ace up his sleeve in a game of poker.' More Trending Everton paid around €30m (£25.8m) to sign Beto from Italian club Udinese in the summer of 2023. The 27-year-old Guinea-Bissau international scored eight Premier League goals across 30 top-flight games in the 2024-25 campaign. Beto is currently under contract at Everton until the summer of 2027. 'One of Beto's attributes is the fighting spirit first injected at Tires,' Lopes added. 'He has had the attitude of never giving up since he was a boy. I'd love to see him in a more attacking team because if he has the service, he will definitely score around 20.'

Man United 'stepping up shock move for Everton flop but may face competition from Saudi clubs for £44.5m star' as Ruben Amorim targets new striker

Former Everton striker Moise Kean is reportedly on Manchester United 's radar. Kean enjoyed a resurgence at Fiorentina last season after a difficult spell at Goodison Park. The 25-year-old scored 19 goals and provided three assists in 32 Serie A appearances, helping the club secure a European place. According to Italian outlet Gazzetta dello Sport, United are now monitoring Kean's situation with increasing interest. The Italian forward is understood to have a £44.5million release clause and is also attracting attention from Saudi side Al Qadsiah. It remains unclear whether Kean would be open to a move to the Middle East, although a lucrative offer could tempt him. United are in the market for a new striker, with Rasmus Hojlund having struggled to make an impact since his big-money move to Old Trafford. Sporting Lisbon's Victor Gyokeres, a target who previously worked with Ruben Amorim, is said to prefer a move to Arsenal, while Liam Delap has already opted to join Chelsea over United. Kean's first spell in the Premier League with Everton failed to live up to expectations. Signed as a highly-rated youngster, he struggled to adapt to life in England and was criticised for his attitude. His struggles were perhaps best summed up when then-interim manager Duncan Ferguson substituted him just 18 minutes after bringing him on during a match against United at Old Trafford. Kean managed only four goals in 39 appearances for the Toffees before a loan spell at Paris Saint-Germain and then a permanent move to Juventus.

Salernitana v Sampdoria Serie B relegation playoff abandoned amid fan disorder

June 22 (Reuters) - The second leg of the Serie B relegation playoff between hosts Salernitana and Sampdoria was abandoned on Sunday after home fans threw smoke bombs and seats onto the pitch. Sampdoria were leading 2-0 when the match was initially postponed in the 65th minute as Salernitana fans hurled objects onto the pitch. Play briefly resumed but was ultimately abandoned amid chaotic scenes at the Stadio Arechi. According to Italian media, Sampdoria are likely to be awarded a 3-0 win, which would secure a 5-0 aggregate victory and guarantee their escape from what had seemed certain relegation to the third tier. Sampdoria, Italian champions in 1991, were initially relegated to Serie C for the first time in their 78-year history, only to be handed a lifeline after the season ended when Brescia were docked eight points, dropping them below Sampdoria and granting the Genoa club a place in the relegation playoff. Salernitana also suffered a setback after being hit by food poisoning, which led to the second leg being postponed following Sampdoria's 2–0 home win in the first match.
