ZLATAN IBRAHIMOVIC has been told to stick to football after throwing a dreadful first pitch at a New York Yankees game.
The legendary striker retired last year and he has since taken up a role as an advisor for RedBird Capital, who own one of his former clubs AC Milan.
He had an illustrious career playing for some of the biggest clubs in Europe and won plenty of silverware.
But in New York he showed his baseball skills needed plenty of work after a terrible opening pitch at the New York Yankees vs Toronto Blue Jays.
Ibrahimovic’s throw ended up very wayward and the Catcher was forced to leave his position and stretch to his left to catch the ball.
The pair then embraced and Ibrahimovic looked pleased with his effort, though fans watching on were not impressed.
One reacted saying: “Stick to football.”
Another added: “Honestly shoulda kicked it home ”
A third wrote: “I can’t understand how athletes, all athletes can’t throw a ball? It’s weird.”
And another commented: “That was awful”

Ibrahimovic, 42, also spent time at the Yankees stadium last week as he provided punditry for Manchester City’s friendly against Milan.
He appeared on Man City’s in-house media channel and left fans in stitches after poking fun at the club, joking: “Bro do you have any viewers here on Man City TV?”
