Laurent Blanc has warned Manchester City that Zlatan Ibrahimovic will be back to his potent best as they bid to reach the Champions League semi-finals on Tuesday. The prolific Swede is expected to be the chief obstacle in Citys way at the Etihad Stadium and will be determined to make up for a mixed night in France last week. Zlatan willing to join United Zlatan Ibrahimovic could join Man Utd, if Louis van Gaal leaves - Sky sources Ibrahimovic scored and hit the crossbar but also missed a penalty and spurned another good chance when put clean through in the thrilling 2-2 draw at the Parc des Princes. The 34-year-old has had a fine season, netting 30 goals in Ligue 1 for the runaway champions. He is out of contract at the end of the campaign and has been linked with a move to England, most recently with Citys rivals Manchester United. Blanc hopes PSG can reach the Champions League semi-finals for the first time But Blanc says he expects Ibrahimovic to be back at his sharpest for a crucial night which could see the club reach the last four of Europes elite club competition for the first time in their history.Were always a bit surprised when Zlatan misses a chance but when youre a top goalscorer like him, you can miss a couple, said Blanc.Unfortunately for us he missed them in that game. He still scored though and hes someone who is extremely demanding of himself.He wants to show something else tomorrow, he wants to be more clinical in front of goal. If we create as many chances as the first leg, I think his conversion rate will be a lot higher. Ibrahimovic equalised for PSG in the first leg Expanding on his expectations for the crunch clash, Blanc said there was not a lot to choose between the teams from an attacking point of view but knows improvements are necessary.He said: Weve analysed the first game and looked at the errors we made. There was too wide a gap between players, we were not compact enough and opened too much space for City.When you think of the players theyve got, particularly going forward, they can create problems for a lot of teams, not just us. Bacary Sagna knows how tough it will be for Manchester City to stop PSG scoring in their Champions League quarter final second-leg We need to perform at the highest possible level, a higher level than the first game. PSG are capable of qualifying but we know how difficult it will be.I would still like us to create as many chances as we created last week because I am pretty sure we would score a fair few more.Follow Man City v PSG on skysports.com and via the Sky Sports apps.

NORRIS COLE (Heat): Its funny, you watch a guy play and now really produce and it just jumps off the page at you - why?
