The Dutchman was playing when Milan thrashed Manchester United here 3-0 in the 2007 Champions League.

“The wonderful thing that night was we all felt inspired. The whole team truly believed,” the Dutchman told Sky Sport Italia.

“The lads have to do the same tonight, to think as a team. The spirit is essential. I also remember playing under the rain brought us luck, as it allowed the ball to move much quicker.”

Ibrahimovic is only fit for the bench this evening, so Samu Castillejo has to play as a False 9, as there are literally no other strikers.

“Ibra is always important, but this line-up can surprise Manchester United, because it doesn’t give them any reference points to defend against.”
