Zlatan Ibrahimovic has thanked Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho for keeping him like "an animal".
Ibrahimovic, 35, has scored 18 goals since signing for United last summer and has been instrumental in the club's fine run of seven straight wins in all competitions.
He was voted the club's player of the month in December by United fans, and he says much of his form is down to Mourinho for keeping him fresh.
"I feel good," he told United's website. "I feel in shape. The boss has made a good programme for me since the start.
"He has been adapting my physical point of view and the way I can play every game. He has to get the credit for that. The mixture between training, recovery and the game, I do it differently, and he set it up for me.
"So that's why I can hold out for so long. And, when you have a body like me, it's not a normal body. It's like when you see an animal. It goes in and is fresh always, so I see myself as an animal."
Ibrahimovic was proud of his award but insists the whole team deserves credit for their recent form.
"That is what the game is about - it's a collective game," he said. "If they win, the team is happy. If I win, the team is happy. At the end, if the team is happy, we are all happy."
