'Zlatan was insulting his team-mates for literally 90 minutes' – Jungwirth recalls 'hilarious' match-up against Ibrahimovic's LA Galaxy

Zlatan Ibrahimovic insulted his 'scared' LA Galaxy team-mates for the entire 90 minutes of a match, San Jose Earthquakes defender Florian Jungwirth has recalled.

Ibrahimovic spent two seasons in MLS between 2018-19 before leaving the Galaxy for Serie A side AC Milan on a free transfer when the January window opened.

German centre-half Jungwirth, who has been at the Earthquakes since 2017, had a memorable first experience playing against Ibrahimovic, with the veteran striker spending most of the match yelling at his team-mates.

"I think it was in 2018 when we played at Stanford against Zlatan first time - and he was like really insulting all his team-mates," Jungwirth said in a Twitter Q&A.
