Eric Bailly tells Zlatan Ibrahimovic to 'f*** offfffff' after announcing his Manchester United departure

Tributes from Manchester United players poured in for Zlatan Ibrahimovic after he announced his departure from the club on Thursday.

While some, like Marcus Rashford, paid tribute to the veteran striker for helping his development, others had a far simpler message for the Swede.

Defender Eric Bailly, tongue firmly in cheek, told Ibrahimovic to 'f*** offfffff'.

The 36-year-old is leaving Old Trafford after just a season-and-a-half in the Premier League to move to the USA.

Ibrahimovic is moving to LA Galaxy having made only seven appearances in his second season in England.

He joined on a free transfer in the summer of 2016 and proved an instant success, scoring 28 goals in his debut campaign.

He helped United secure a League Cup and Europa League double before suffering a season-ending injury last April.

A serious knee injury kept him out of action until November and left him unable to start more than two games.
