"I know I can do more, the team can do more, I want to do more.

"I will do more. That's my mentality, my objective."

And, ahead of the clash against City, Ibrahimovic was a bit cheeky about his role off the pitch when meeting fans of Pep Guardiola’s team.

I met a lot but they became United supporters when they met me!" he added.

He also told United Review that he will try and avenge the 2-1 defeat that his side suffered in the first derby of the season.

"We cannot go back and change the result, absolutely not, but we can make a difference in the upcoming game,” he said.
