It's always said that when a world class player who is used to not sharing the spotlight comes to a team filled with other stars, the adaptation becomes really complicated. In super teams such as Real Madrid and Barcelona, there have been examples of players who didn't manage to share any kind of stardom with other amazingly talented professionals. This happened to Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who had problems adapting to life next o Leo Messi.
Former Sweden international Pontus Kamark, is convinced that Zlatan will also have problems at United with Paul Pogba and Wayne Rooney. When asked by the Mirror about the relationship he may have with Wayne Rooney, the Swede man responded: "Hopefully they get along, him and Rooney — and if they do I think it is going to be the perfect match. If they don't, he is going to create a lot of problems. You can have both sides with Zlatan. He takes a lot of space and there can be a lot of trouble around him but he can also make things happen that would be difficult without him.
"He has been in all kinds of arguments. He called even Pep Guardiola 'The Philosopher' because [Lionel] Messi felt threatened about his superiority and Zlatan doesn't want to be number two. If someone comes in his way, he fights them. He can kick you down in training. He does whatever it takes to be on the throne. That can be for good and for bad — especially if someone doesn't accept that. He always finds something because he can never be second best - Zlatan has to be number one."
He added: "I think he is a good player for Manchester United and see him almost like an Eric Cantona. Man United have lost in recent years a little bit of their profile and slipped from being a winning team. When David Moyes came he even said in the derby against Man City, 'We are not the favorites'. You don’t say that as a Man United player and Zlatan would never say that either. I think in that aspect he is a winner and he might help the team in the future. He is not young but if they can get the best out of Zlatan for a season or one-and-a-half seasons I think that could be very beneficial for Man United."
