Former Chelsea forward Adrian Mutu has claimed that Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho has fallen out with Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

Ibrahimovic signed a new one-year contract with United in the summer after recovering from the knee ligament problem that forced him to miss the latter stages of the 2016-17 season.

The Swede returned to action towards the end of 2017, but has not featured in 2018 despite Mourinho claiming on a number of occasions that the experienced forward is over the relapse that he suffered in December.

Mutu, who played under Mourinho at Chelsea, has claimed that there has been a falling-out between the two individuals at Old Trafford.

"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 told Telekom Sport Romania.

Ibrahimovic, 36, has not turned out for United in the Premier League since Boxing Day.
