Former Chelsea forward Adrian Mutu has made the sensational claim that Jose Mourinho has fallen out with Manchester United striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic, adding that the Swede isn't actually injured.

Ibrahimovic suffered serious knee ligament damage in a Europa League game last season, which ruled him out for the remainder of the 2016/17 campaign.

But he impressed in the first half of the season, and signed a one-year extension with the Old Trafford club after recovering in the summer.

In late December the Swede suffered a relapse, and was sidelined for a month, after he starred in Manchester United's Boxing Day draw with Burnley.

Ibrahimovic recently returned to training, but has yet to feature for Manchester United in 2018, and Mutu claims this is down to a 'bust-up' between him and Mourinho.

Talking to Telekom Sport Romania, Mutu, who played under the Portuguese at Chelsea, 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."

Mutu made 38 appearances for Chelsea in all competitions during his short spell at the club, where he fell out with Mourinho.

Interestingly the bust-up stemmed from the pair accusing each other of lying about whether Mutu was actually injured for a 2006 World Cup qualifying match. Mutu was later sacked by Chelsea in 2004 after he failed a drugs test for cocaine.
