Former Chelsea forward Adrian Mutu is likely to raise eyebrows with his claim about Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s situation at Manchester United.

The former Sweden international was a massive hit at the North-West club last season as he scored 17 goals in 28 Premier League performances.

The 36-year-old was proving that age is just a number until he suffered a serious knee injury in the closing stages of last season.

Many questioned whether the striker would ever play again, but he did recover and signed a new one-year deal at United, much to the delight of the supporters.

However, it has not quite gone to plan for the Swede as he has made just seven appearances in all competitions this season and has scored just the one goal.

Ibrahimovic suffered an injury blow in December and has not played since United’s draw with Burnley on Boxing Day.

Mutu, who played under Mourinho at Chelsea, has now made a bizarre claim that the only reason the former Paris Saint-Germain star is not playing is because he has fallen out with the manager.

In an interview with Telekom Sport Romania, Mutu 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.”
