Former Manchester United striker Ibrahimovic, 37, suddenly emerged from backstage to surprise the boys on popular US TV show, The Ellen DeGeneres Show and hailed them as the best team in the world. "They showed their collective team work and had patience... believing in other hands also. This is probably the best team in the world," said the LA Galaxy striker.
