WATCH: Zlatan Ibrahimovic already getting into the spirit of rivalry ahead of Manchester derby

The bi-annual league battle of Manchester is just around the corner and Zlatan Ibrahimovic is raring to go.

Manchester United's Swedish superstar is set to play in his first Manchester derby this weekend when the Red Devils welcome Manchester City to the lion's den in Saturday's early kick-off. One club is set to lose their pristine 100% record in the match as both sides have won all their previous matches this Premier League campaign, but the away side will have to make do without their talismanic sharpshooter Sergio Aguero, who's serving a three-match ban. https://twitter.com/SportsJOEdotie/status/773424566089678849?lang=en Ahead of the fixture, Ibrahimovic sent a message to City's new goalkeeper Claudio Bravo, who made the switch from the Nou Camp to the Etihad for a reported fee of £17 million this summer. In the video, Zlatan sends the Chilean a special care package attaching a note containing the following message.

“Welcome to Manchester! Here’s some training gear, you’re gonna need it. See you Saturday.”

Although it appeared like a thinly-veiled excuse to advertise the gear in an effort to shift a few more units, the b*nter levels were through the roof. https://www.instagram.com/p/BKDBtz0B_FT/ The GAA Hour Hurling Show relives Tipperary’s sensational All-Ireland victory with Paidí Maher. Listen below or subscribe on iTunes.
