Zlatan Ibrahimovic has a go at the crossbar challenge during Sweden's Euro 2016 training session

Even the best footballers can struggle with the crossbar challenge - and that includes departing Paris Saint-Germain striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic, as the above video shows.

The man heavily linked with Manchester United joined his Sweden team-mates for a bit of fun at training ahead of their Euro 2016 opener against the Republic of Ireland on Monday.

Ibrahimovic, who played 61 minutes of the Swedes' 3-0 friendly win over Wales at the weekend in Stockholm, had several attempts at hitting the woodwork.

But the 34-year-old - a scorer of 44 goals for PSG last season - was not able to strike the crossbar from around 25 yards at the first time of asking.
