Zlatan Ibrahimovic fancies being the next James Bond and following United legend Eric Cantona into acting
ZLATAN IBRAHIMOVIC has his eye on becoming the next James Bond or Jason Bourne.
That’s if he can swap Manchester for Hollywood, with a mooted move to LA Galaxy on the cards for the forward.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic fancies himself as an actor after he finishes playing football.
Ibrahimovic has been the star man at Old Trafford this season scored his 27th goal in all competitions for the Red Devils last night as United drew 1-1 with Everton.
But with Zlatan considering winding down his career, he is confident of taking his famous ego to Hollywood, where he wants to offer his services as another kind of hero.
When asked about comparisons between himself and cult United hero Eric Cantona, the 35-year-old gave a bold answer.
Eric Cantona became a Manchester United legend when he played there between 1992 and 1997Getty ImagesEric Cantona has had a number of acting roles – particularly in French TV and cinema.
He said: "Eric is Eric. Zlatan is Zlatan, so I come with a different package. I come with what I'm able to do.
"People remember him for the rest of their lives for what he did here, people will remember me for what I did.
"The only thing he did that I haven't done - yet - is acting. I'm a little bit curious also to be an actor.
"Something like Bourne Identity, something like that, a secret agent.

"The new James Bond? Why Not?"
There would be one major stumbling block if Ibrahimovic did want to become James Bond... the current one is a Liverpool fan.
Daniel Craig was even spotted in the stands during the Merseyside derby and is a big Reds supporter.
But given Cantona has had a reasonably successful career in acting, nothing should stop Ibrahimovic treading the boards.
Meanwhile neither the player nor the club has yet confirmed what Ibrahimovic's next move in football will be, with the option for the Red Devils to renew his contract by an extra season.
