Zlatan Ibrahimovic humorously mocked Manchester City during an appearance on their in-house TV channel ahead of a pre-season friendly against AC Milan, jokingly asking if they had any viewers. Despite his cheeky remarks, City faced a 3-2 defeat against Milan, with Erling Haaland initially giving them the lead before Lorenzo Colombo and Marco Nasti turned the game around. Ibrahimovic's comments sparked amusement among fans, particularly Manchester United supporters, who appreciated his playful jibe, while others criticized him for being 'salty' about City's fanbase. This match was another challenge for Pep Guardiola's side, as they fielded a youthful team due to many senior players being on holiday. The defeat followed another loss earlier in pre-season against Celtic, raising questions about City's preparation for the upcoming season. Ibrahimovic, now a senior advisor at AC Milan, continues to generate headlines even after his retirement from professional football.
