Fenerbahce defender Kjaer: I'm ready to rumble with Zlatan

Fenerbahce defender Simon Kjaer says he's ready for a "rumble" with Manchester United striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic tonight.

Kjaer will renew his rivalry with Ibrahimovic at Old Trafford in the Europa League, having faced the Manchester United striker in Italy and France as well as for Denmark against Sweden.

"I'm looking forward to another rumble against him," he said. "It's always great to be up against the best in football.

"Zlatan is the player I have met the most times - with Palermo, Roma, Lille, and for Denmark against Sweden.

"I know him inside out, but still you never quite know, what he will do. OK, he had a good chance with a header against Liverpool, which he didn't take, but he is true world class.

"Zlatan will always score goals. His age is just a number. His personal drive, ambition and passion is something every player can learn from."
