Actually for players like them who are old and still able to be on stage or prestigious competitions even though they are not playing they are already very respected because of their presence and of course with conditions like that the mentality of young people is clearly aroused.
I remember the season when Milan won how Zlatan was always a supporter and supporter of young people in Milan. Not only has he had a positive impact on the pitch but he has also provided a number of other things outside which make him a very good person indeed.
Now that he's got what he wants in his career of course that's great for Zlatan.
You are bringing up a really important point here. Ibrahimovic, despite his attitude, is very down to earth, he is a very grounded person. Yes he calls himself a lion and a king, but that is part of the entertainment. When you actually listen to him in various contexts, he is a decent character with a lot of respect for other people.
He never demanded to play and immediately respected to be sitting on the bench. It was amazing how he celebrated team goals when he wasn't even playing. Sometimes you could see that he was so happy that everyone thought he scored the goal although he was on the bench!
This is a major difference between Ibrahimovic and Ronaldo. When Ronaldo scores four goals and they lose 4-5, it was a good day for Ronaldo. When Ibrahimovic scores ten goals and they lose 10-11, Ibrahimovic is pissed and doesn't want to talk because it was a loss for his team.
Ibrahimovic is willing to give advice, but nobody has to take it from him. Ronaldo believes he knows it all better.
That's why you are right that Ibrahimovic is still a great support for every team on the pitch and offside the pitch. In my opinion a great role model who loves to entertain the world of soccer with his very own type of humor.
Yes, it seems he has another mission when he still wants to become a professional player even though it is very rare to play on the field, he wants to help the mentality of the young players in his squad. Indeed, I also see now that there are many young players who are very good and also have the ability, but they don't have the mentality, and that affects their performance. Indeed, here the role of players who are very experienced is really needed, because it will make the young players mentally burn and not immediately down when under a lot of pressure.

Not really sure what's the real problem of Maguire, but I think he always play under pressure...
Every professional player is playing under pressure and they have to deal with that. Coaches and fans might accept a performance drop in a match or a two but Harry Maguire made serious mistake several times and damaged heavily the team. Sometimes you have the feeling that he is the player number 12 in ManU opponent team! I doubt he will recover and it would be better to leave the club. If he was a player outside of England, he would be kicked long time ago..
I personally would consider it natural that Harry Maguire's mistakes are not as frequent as what we have seen so far, but the problem is that almost every time he plays, he always makes mistakes that should be avoided. Sometimes I also feel sorry when I see Harry Maguire being the butt of jokes on social media networks, but what many people have done has become a fact on the field that he always makes mistakes which in the end cost the club.
