Former Manchester United star Zlatan Ibrahimovic has shown that his ability remains intact by performing a spectacular swimming pool stunt.
The 43-year-old, who retired in 2023, had a penchant for scoring acrobatic goals during his career.
Perhaps his most memorable strike came for Sweden against England in 2012 when Ibrahimovic scored an stunning overhead kick from 30 yards out.
Ibrahimovic evoked memories of that goal by performing an overhead kick in a swimming pool in a post on social media.
The clip showed the former striker jumping onto cushions floating in the pool, before lining up the acrobatic volley.
As the cushions moved in the swimming pool, Ibrahimovic kept his eye on the ball and sent a superb overhead kick between two trees, which effectively resembled a goal.
Since December 2023, Ibrahimovic has worked as a senior advisor at his former club AC Milan.
He represented a host of high-profile clubs during a trophy-laden career.
After starting out at Malmo, Ibrahimovic joined Ajax and later went on to play for Juventus, Inter Milan and Barcelona.
In addition, he had two spells at AC Milan and also spent time at Paris Saint-Germain, Manchester United and LA Galaxy.
Despite his stellar reputation during his playing days, Ibrahimovic hasn't escaped criticism from AC Milan's ultras since becoming an advisor.
Milan endured a disappointing campaign as they ended up finishing in eighth place in Serie A.
Ahead of the final game of the season against Monza last month Milan ultras were seen holding banners and hurling insults in protest against the club's hierarchy.
A statement from the Milan ultras read: 'This is the best response we could give, because there is no curva, club, red, orange: there are only Milanisti and Milanismo. Things that those in that building have forgotten a long time ago.
'We are back in this square three years after celebrating the best Scudetto ever. After celebrating the return to the Champions League along with Paolo Maldini.'
The ultras reserved specific criticism for Ibrahimovic, who they claimed was responsible for the 'disaster' which saw Milan's reserve team suffer relegation to Serie D in their first season in professional football.
The statement continued: 'Ibra the big boss, so loved as a player, so unsuited to being a consultant. To blame for the Milan Futuro disaster.'
