MANCHESTER United star Zlatan Ibrahimovic has revealed he gave his wife a framed picture of himself as a Christmas present.
The Old Trafford ace, 35, said he handed his model wife Helena Seger, 46, the gift showing him celebrating a goal.
Ibra, who earns £11 million a year at United, received the framed snap from a staffer at the club just before Christmas at their Carrington training ground.
It shows him leaping above team-mate Jesse Lingard to celebrate his goal against West Brom.
The shot, taken during the 2-0 win a week before Christmas, is famed for Lingard looking terrified as the big striker jumps towards him.
A source said: “Ibra was cracking up about the picture and said he would take it home to give his wife for Christmas.
“He got it a couple of days before so it was an easy gift.
“Some of the lads and staff at Carrington were laughing about it - he’s not shy of a wind-up or two.”
Ibrahimović, who recently signed another year at United, has become famous as a joker during his career.
The Swede, on red-hot form this season, was once asked what he got his wife for her birthday and replied: “Nothing, she already has Zlatan.”

During his time at Spanish giants Barcelona he slammed the club for misusing him, famously saying: “You bought a Ferrari but you drive it like a Fiat.”
Ibra has also said he can “play 11 positions because a good player can play anywhere” and that “an injured Zlatan is a properly serious thing for any team”.
When he left Paris Saint-Germain for Manchester, he modestly said of his time in the French capital: “I came a hero, left like a legend.”
And last month he posted a video at Christmas of himself in his pants making an angel in the snow with the message: “Merry Christmas”.
