Manchester United striker, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, has admitted that the current squad is not “good enough to be No.1”.
Ibrahimovic has however backed manager Jose Mourinho, to take the Red Devils back to the top of English football.
“I think the coach is doing the absolute maximum with the team he has. 200 percent,” Ibrahimovic told the Mail.
“If we were good enough to be No. 1, we would be No. 1 in the table.
“He still has the same winning mentality, because that you don’t lose.
“When you have it, you have it. It is nothing you learn or can try to be. Either you are, or you are not.”
The Swede also revealed that he likes Mourinho’s personality, as it is direct and honest.
“I know him very well. He is direct in his work,” Ibrahimovic added.
“He likes to look into your eyes and tell you if you’re s— or not. I prefer that.
“He sends you the message he is thinking and he is the boss, he decides and controls the situation. It is the way it works and I am from the old generation, which I think was more like that.
“At half-time against Everton he told us we were not good enough. We should hear it because we were not.”
