Zlatan Ibrahimovic has described new Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho as "cool" amid reports that the player is on the verge of moving to Old Trafford.

The Sweden international, who has called an end to a four-year spell at Paris Saint-Germain, has been tight-lipped over his future, but reports have claimed that the 34-year-old has agreed a one-year deal with United.

Ibrahimovic played under Mourinho for a year at Inter Milan, and the striker only has fond words for the Portuguese coach.

In an interview with The Guardian, the former Barcelona forward said: "I like [Carlo] Ancelotti. Mourinho is cool.

"The older they get, the cooler they get. The grey hair. The serious expression. I have a good relationship with them all. Except one."

When asked if the man he was refereeing to was incoming Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola, Ibrahimovic replied: "Exactly."

The pair had a strained relationship when both were at Barcelona.
