Zlatan Ibrahimovic Mocking Reportedly Feared by Manchester United Kids at Panto

Manchester United's youngsters are reportedly considering drawing lots to decide who has to mock Zlatan Ibrahimovic at the club's traditional Christmas pantomime as they all fear the wrath of the Swedish legend.

Per the Sun's Phil Thomas, the Red Devils' rookies annually stage a panto in which they "mercilessly mock the senior stars" with "nothing off limits"—the likes of skipper Wayne Rooney and Ballon d'Or winner Cristiano Ronaldo have been aped in the past.

However, per Thomas, considerations are being made this year that whichever youngster has to play Zlatan do it in disguise so as to protect their anonymity, as none of them want to be seen mocking the forward.
