Zlatan Ibrahimovic asks for Fortnite livestream donations in Twitch broadcast
The former Manchester United star had the nerve to ask viewers to fork up cash, but it was all for a personal cause
SWEDISH striker extraordinaire Zlatan Ibrahimovic is the latest celeb to get hooked on the gaming phenomenon that is Fortnite.
In a fresh Twitch livestream, the multimillionaire footy ace goofed around with viewers asking for a donation.

The broadcast saw Ibrahimovic pair up with popular streamer KekGs, but his joystick skills didn't match his goal-scoring records, reports Dexerto.
He then asked for donations to help his friend improve his internet and set up his own stream, joking that he could just buy it all for him instead.
This isn't Zlatan's first Fortnite sesh either.
Earlier this month he jumped on a livestream with his brother in typically witty fashion.
Asked by a fan “When will Fortnite create a Zlatan character?” the former Manchester United ace replied: “Make a Zlatan character? They cannot afford me.”
Aside from raking in £222million last month, Fortnite is also quickly amassing enough celeb devotees to stock a football team.
Alongside Ibrahimobvic is Spurs midfielder Dele Alli, F1 champ Lewis Hamilton, rappers Drake and Travis Scott, and...um...Stacey Solomon.
In other Fortnite news, developer Epic Games recently announced that its next update will include some major changes like friendly fire and multiple lives.
The company also temporarily pulled the game's Close Encounters mode (which gives players access to the jet pack) after a suspected technical glitch.
