Zlatan: I taught Mkhitaryan how to do the scorpion kick!

The Manchester United striker lifted the Player of the Month award, but also claimed credit for his impact in December's Goal of the Month

Manchester United striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic has claimed that he showed team-mate Henrikh Mkhitaryan how to perform the scorpion kick goal he scored against Sunderland.

Ibrahimovic's goalscoring exploits saw him win the Premier League Player of the Month award for December, but Mkhitaryan lifted the Goal of the Month trophy following his acrobatic effort in the Boxing Day clash.

Not content with winning a trophy for himself, the Swedish striker also attempted to take credit for his part in the Armenian's spectacular strike.
