Paul Pogba sends class message to Zlatan Ibrahimovic after former Manchester United star scores 500th career goal

Paul Pogba sent a message of congratulations to Zlatan Ibrahimovic after the former Manchester United striker scored his 500th career goal against Toronto FC on Saturday. The 36-year-old brought up his latest astonishing milestone with a typically Zlatan-esque effort, performing a graceful pirouette before connecting with a lofted pass and slamming the ball into the net with a karate kick style volley. Ibrahimovic’s goal was greeted by a standing ovation from the opposition fans but the Swede dismissed the gesture as a run of the mill response to his customary brilliance. ‘It’s not the first time I’ve gotten a standing ovation from the away team,’ he remarked.
