Zlatan Ibrahimovic Holidays With Family in New York As World Cup Continues...

Zlatan Ibrahimovic had hoped to be at the World Cup in Brazil showcasing his skills but instead he is holidaying with his family in New York.

The Swedish striker, who has scored 48 goals in 96 internationals, has been forced to sit the summer tournament out after his national side failed to beat Portugal in their World Cup play-off last year.

The 32-year-old was pictured sightseeing with his wife Helena Seger, as well as with sons Max and Vincent.

 

Ibrahimovic is not at the World Cup after Sweden failed to qualify for the finals

He was wearing a blue NY cap, a white T-shirt, shorts and red trainers.

Ibrahimovic watched world champions Spain crash out of the World Cup with a 2-0 loss to Chile flanked by PSG president Nasser Al Khelaifi, Laurent Blanc and his son Maxi last week.

The Paris Saint-Germain forward did everything in his power to fire Sweden to the finals, scoring twice in the second leg of their play-off with Portugal in Stockholm.

But the former Barcelona forward was powerless to stop Cristiano Ronaldo netting a hat-trick to seal a 4-2 aggregate win for Paulo Bento's side.

Ibrahimovic has previously played for AC Milan, Barcelona, Inter Milan, Juventus, Ajax and Malmo.

He has commanded transfer fees during his career to a world-record value of £154million.
