Manchester United's new star striker has claimed he will be "God" of the city.
Sweden's Zlatan Ibrahimovic has made the move to Old Trafford from Paris Saint Germain becoming one of the highest paid footballers in the Premier League.
He's been responding to a welcome from former Manchester United striker Eric Cantona.
The Frenchman, who played for the Reds in the 1990s, was known as 'the King' and suggested Ibrahimovic could be 'the Prince'.
Speaking to Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet, Ibrahimovic said: "I admire Cantona and I heard what he said.
"But I won't be King of Manchester. I will be God of Manchester."
Ibrahimovic will start training with his new team mates this week ahead of the new season which begins next month.
