Former Manchester United striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic mocks Manchester City as he asks 'Do you have any viewers for this?' on pre-match livestream ahead of friendly against AC Milan

Zlatan Ibrahimovic brutally mocked Manchester City ahead of their friendly against AC Milan.

Pep Guardiola's side suffered a 3-2 defeat against AC Milan in New York as they continued their pre-season preparations.

Ibrahimovic, who played Manchester United between 2016 and 2018, appeared on City's livestream ahead of the game and asked 'Do you have any viewers for this?'.

The former striker's comments prompted laughter from ex-City players Shaun Wright-Phillips and Joleon Lescott. 

Ibrahimovic had several spells at Milan during his career and scored 93 goals in 163 games for the Italian club. He announced his retirement last year.

Despite the huge success they have enjoyed in recent years, City have often been mocked over the size of their fanbase in comparison to some other major clubs.

While at United, Ibrahimovic played 53 games and scored 29 goals. He won the League Cup and the Europa League.

After losing 4-3 to Celtic, City were beaten again as they faced Milan despite taking the lead through Erling Haaland.

A brace from Lorenzo Colombo put Milan in front before James McAtee equalised for City in the second half.

Marco Nasti scored what proved to be the winner for Milan in the 78th minute.

City have further friendlies to come against Barcelona and Chelsea before taking on Manchester United in the Community Shield.
