Manchester United striker Zlatan Ibrahimović has heaped praise on manager Jose Mourinho for the 53-year-old’s winning mentality and coaching style.

Ibrahimović has has enjoyed a successful reunion with Mourinho to date at Manchester United, scoring four goals in his first four competitive games for the Red Devils.

The 34-year-old believes the pair are very similar in the way they want to go about their football.

I know this coach from before, I know what he wants, I know his demands,” the Swede told BBC Sport.

“He is a winner; I see myself as a winner also.

“I like to win, I will do everything to win, he thinks the same thing.

“We won when we were young, we will win when we are a little bit older.

“In [a] short time he is very successful. And that not every coach has that.”

Ibrahimović admitted Mourinho’s style was very well suited to his personality and professionalism.

“He’s direct with everyone, he is not a coach that goes behind you, and tell you behind your back,” he added.

“He will tell you if you aren’t good enough. I prefer that it is like that instead of someone who doesn’t say anything to you.”
