Zlatan Ibrahimovic plays down Massimiliano Allegri row

AC Milan striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic has played down rumours claiming that he recently had a row with coach Massimiliano Allegri.

The 30-year-old is thought to have fallen out with his manager following Milan's 3-0 Champions League defeat to Arsenal on Tuesday.

"The controversy about my alleged verbal confrontation with Allegri? A lot of people are talking about things they don't know anything about," Ibrahimovic told reporters. "They should just shut up. Nobody's happy after a loss, and I definitely wasn't. That's all."

The Swedish international, who had been on loan at the San Siro last season, joined the Rossoneri on a permanent deal from Barcelona over the summer.
