Former Manchester United striker, Zlatan Ibrahimovic has revealed Joes Mourihno's mentality ahead of this weekend's crucial clash against City rival, Manchester City.
Manchester City would be crowned Champion of the English Premier League if they defeat United on Saturday. Pep Guardiola’s side, who have lost just once all season, have been in breathtaking form and three points against United will land them the prize.
The Swede who recently left the club for MLS outfit, LA Galaxy praised Mourihno and provided insight on how he would tackle the game.
“I think they are pumped. “They are looking forward to a game like that because obviously City are ahead by many points and the rest of the league is not playing for the Premier League trophy.
“They are playing for the Champions League and the places behind City so someone will want to give them a little shake like Liverpool did the other day.
“I know the coach very well. He is very motivated for these kind of games and I’m pretty sure he doesn’t want them to become champions against him. He’ll make sure of that.”
Speaking on the challenge he faced while at Old Trafford he said
"I like Mourinho. He is the Special One. He likes to win. Wherever he went he won. He made me feel comfortable. He gave me a lot of responsibility. He said to me the only problem he had with me was when could he rest me.
“They’ve been doing it good. Let’s hope, there’s one last trophy to play for, and that’s the FA Cup. So hopefully they win it."
