ZLATAN IBRAHIMOVIC launched a blistering attack on Manchester United's flops declaring: I am a lion, you are pussycats.
The giant Swede, who inspired the Red Devils to the EFL Cup, is frustrated by the lack of winners at Old Trafford.
Ibrahimovic feels under pressure to make the difference in order for the Red Devils to win matches.
Speaking to BT Sport, the 35-year-old said: “When you are part of the team you want to feel like you are doing something for the team.
“At this moment I haven’t been able to do something, I have a lot of responsibility and I feel the pressure on myself.
“I failed in some way that I didn’t win the game. That’s me - that’s only me.
“I am a lion.
"If you come up among lions you should expect to get attacked by lions.
"If you are a cat, you will run away but if you are a lion you will stay among the other lions.
"I came here to win. I have been winning but if you want to win bigger you have to create bigger."
When asked if there were enough Lions with the current United squad, Ibrahimovic showed signs of frustration.
He added: "The table does not lie. The team is where it is because it is what it is.
“Last time I came second I don’t even remember - it was at AC Milan.
“It was the first position of the last ones so that I don’t really like.
“It was a failure. Whatever comes after the first one is a failure.

“But we still have other trophies to play for also, we are doing the best we can and we still want more."
When asked who the best striker in the Premier League is, the powerful striker surprisingly didn't mention himself.
He said: "I like a striker who makes a difference. Lukaku is strong, he is more the physical player that scores a lot of goals. Aguero is good.”
But when asked why he did not mention himself, he added: "Lions, they don’t compare themselves with humans.”
