Noel Gallagher: 'Zlatan Ibrahimovic is an idiot'

Singer-songwriter Noel Gallagher has branded Zlatan Ibrahimovic "a fucking idiot" and compared him to his brother.

The former Oasis guitarist, who is a Manchester City fan, fronted the band with brother Liam Gallagher until their relationship resulted in the group splitting in 2009.

When asked about the Paris Saint-Germain forward by Swedish newspaper Afton Bladet, the 48-year-old said: "This guy is a fucking idiot. I do not like him, he is full of crap.

"He is like my brother, he talks a lot but can't back it up. Cool tattoos and a big mouth."

Gallagher established Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds after Oasis split up.
