Jose Mourinho: 'Zlatan Ibrahimovic has been fantastic'

Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho has said that there is "no problem at all" with Zlatan Ibrahimovic, despite the striker's recent poor form in front of goal.

Ibrahimovic netted five goals in as many games at the start of the season but he has scored just once in his last 11 appearances in all competitions.

However, Mourinho has praised the Swede for his contribution to the team and has backed him to end his goal drought sooner rather than later.

The 53-year-old is quoted by ESPN as saying: "He is playing well for the team. He's creating a lot of chances, he is missing a lot of goals.

"If I remember Stoke, Liverpool, Chelsea, Burnley, he missed a lot of goals but he was fantastic in his dynamic, his working, his building up for the team, he was fantastic.

"His attitude is always brilliant. He's not a guy afraid of his responsibility, so no problem at all."

Ibrahimovic is expected to start when United face Swansea City at the Liberty Stadium on Sunday afternoon.
