Zlatan Ibrahimovic Compares Himself To King Kong As Former Manchester United Striker Shows Off His Muscles

• Zlatan Ibrahimovic looks ripped in his latest Instagram post

• The egotistical forward showed off toned abdominal muscles in topless picture

• Ibra referred to himself as the 'King' while striking a pose that apes King Kong

• Manchester United are considering re-signing the injured 35-year-old

• Post proves his upper body is still in good shape, sparking hope of a return

Zlatan Ibrahimovic - ever the egotist - has compared himself to 'King Kong' in his latest Instagram post, which suggests he thinks his rehabilitation is going well.

Ibrahimovic referred to himself as the 'King' as he posed next to a picture of the fictional behemoth ape. 

The 35-year-old has been out of action since April when he suffered cruciate knee ligament damage in Manchester United's 2-1 win over Anderlecht.

But that hasn't prevented Ibrahimovic from staying in shape, as evidenced by his latest post, showing him flexing his muscles while wearing nothing but a pair of white boxer shorts.

The iconic striker is currently a free agent after United decided against renewing his £367,000-a-week contract at the end of last season. 

United could not commit to a new deal as Ibrahimovic is set to remain sidelined until early 2018, but the 35-year-old has continued training with the Red Devils.

And it seems his non-footballing fitness work is going well, judging by the Instagram post he shared with his 26.5million followers on Thursday.

Zlatan was United's topscorer last term with 28 goals - more than Romelu Lukaku hit at Everton
