For Jose
Mourinho, the fans at Manchester United will do anything, including camping
outside Ibrahimovic’s house in order to persuade him to stay with the club for
one more year.
‘Ibra’ has
not signed a contract extension, with his one year contract due to expire at
the end of the season.
However,
Mourinho, believes the Old Trafford faithfuls will do anything to ensure he
stays for an extra year after his double helped them claim the EFL Cup.
“If needed,
United fans can go to the door of his house and stay there all night,” Mourinho
told reporters after Ibrahimovic’s 87th-minute winner.
“I never beg
– but if needed I think they will go for sure. We all want him to stay with us
for one more season and we all believe he is going to.”
Mourinho lavished
praises on Ibrahimovic’s bold decision to come to England so late in his
distinguished career and hailed the impact he has made at United.
“I was his
manager – I know the potential,” said the man famously known as the Special One.
“Only a
silly player comes to England at 35 years old, with the successful career that
Zlatan has, only a silly player comes here if he doesn’t feel he can do it.
“Who is
better to know, him or me or you? To take the challenge to come to a country
like England, a club like Manchester United.
“When he
takes that decision he feels he is ready. It is his credit, not my credit. It
is his merit, everything for him.”
