We never used to play football the way we play now. We never played for 1-0 and then defend. We always went for the second goal and the third. "All the hard work that Sir Alex put in to recover what was there from Sir Matt Busby has been undone in a very short period of time. I, as a fan, want to be winning but to entertain equally as much too. I want exciting players." Zlatan Ibrahimovic has been linked with a possible move to United, although agent Mino Raiola says the Sweden star - who will leave Paris Saint-Germain after Saturday's Coupe de France final - has not yet received a contract offer from the club.Schmeichel has previously urged United to sign the former Barcelona and AC Milan forward and he believes he could be the right man to reinvigorate the dressing room. "I read about Zlatan Ibrahimovic in the newspapers. I would love for him to come to Manchester United, I've said this for a long time. He was born to play for Manchester United," he said. "He's like an Eric Cantona, who can inspire all the guys in the dressing room but also the supporters. That's what it's all about. It's not about having a Sunday nap at Old Trafford."</blockquote>
