Former Manchester United defender Phil Neville has renewed his claim that Zlatan Ibrahimovic is "world class", posting a teasing tweet to fellow pundit Alan Shearer after the striker's latest goals.
Ibrahimovic has scored 10 goals in his last nine games for United, but Shearer asserted that the 35-year-old "was world class", but is no longer on the same level as Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, or Luis Suarez.
Neville took to Twitter to once again highlight the striker's world class qualities as he netted twice in a 2-0 win over West Brom on Saturday, with many Manchester United fans agreeing.
Was/is world class hahaha

Zlatan's proved us wrong. We thought he was finished after that poor spell in October, but he's back and still world class at 35. Mental

And the English media said Zlatan wasn't world class. He's doing it in the "greatest league in the world" at 35.

Zlatan has dominated in every major league in Europe. World class.

Imagine if Zlatan played in the prem during his prime, makes me laugh how people doubted him at the start of the season. World class

@alanshearer only Messi has scored more goals than Ibrah in 2016? Is that not world class?

Despite Ibrahimovic's excellent run of form, not everyone believes he is still world class. Have your say below!
