Mourinho or Van Gaal? Manchester United target Ibrahimovic knows who he prefers
Swedish striker is on Man Utd's radar but move to Old Trafford could depend on who is the manager next season
Zlatan Ibrahimovic's potential move to United is a non-starter if Louis van Gaal remains in charge at Old Trafford...but if Jose Mourinho takes over that's a different story.
The mercurial Swede will leave Paris St Germain in the summer and the striker is being heavily linked with a move to the Reds.
But his working relationship with current United boss Van Gaal couldn't be more contrasting than that with the Dutchman's possible Reds successor Mourinho.
Ibrahimovic fell out with Van Gaal at Ajax when the United manager was technical director and he accused LVG of “sticking his oar in” during a meeting with coach Ronald Koeman.
Ibrahimovic and Mourinho spent one season together
In his autobiography 'I am Zlatan' the flamboyant goalscorer said, “Van Gaal was a pompous ass. He wanted to be a dictator, without a hint of a gleam in his eye. I was glad when I could avoid him.”
On the other hand Ibrahimovic spent just one season with Mourinho at Inter Milan and was Serie A top scorer and won the title and he could not be more praiseworthy of the Portuguese who is favourite to land the United job in the summer.
“We worked together for one year at Inter The feeling was great between us and my only regret is that we were together for only one year,” Zlatan has said.
