Former Chelsea striker, Adrian Mutu, has claimed that Manchester United manager, Jose Mourinho, has fallen out with striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic, adding that the player isn’t actually injured.
Ibrahimovic suffered serious knee ligament damage in an Europa League game last season, which ruled him out for the remainder of the 2016/17 campaign.
But he signed a one-year extension with the Old Trafford club after recovering in the summer.
In late December, Ibrahimovic suffered a relapse and was sidelined for a month, after he starred in Manchester United’s Boxing Day draw with Burnley.
Ibrahimovic recently returned to training, but has yet to feature for Manchester United this year.
Mutu claims this is down to a ‘bust-up’ between him and Mourinho.
Talking to Telekom Sport Romania, Mutu, who played under the Portuguese at Chelsea, said: “I do not care about Mourinho.
“Mourinho doesn’t care about the performance, only the result. I have the information that Ibrahimovic is not injured, he’s just cold with Mourinho right now.”
