'He is the only player who can succeed on Mars' - Raiola aims shot at Ibra's Premier League doubters

The agent believes the Swede has delivered a definitive answer to questions whether he would succeed in England following his brace in Sunday's final

Zlatan Ibrahimovic's starring role in Manchester United's EFL Cup win is proof to his doubters that he could succeed on Mars or the moon - let alone the Premier League - says agent Mino Riola.

The Swede bagged a brace to fire Jose Mourinho's men to a 3-2 triumph over Southampton at Wembley on Saturday, ensuring the Red Devils lifted their first piece of silverware this season.

The cup also represents Ibrahimovic's first title secured on English soil, a matter of months after the 35-year-old moved to Old Trafford on a free from Paris Saint-Germain.
