J.Mourinho: Zlatan will have to prove he is the best, otherwise he will sit on the bench

"Manchester United" coach Jose Mourinho does not promise a guaranteed place in the starting lineup for recovering forward Zlatan Ibrahimovic after his injury.

"No, no, no, no. The forward will join the already formed team.

Zlatan will join the team in the middle of the season, which will have found its playing style and will have chosen footballers for that, so no one should worry.

We know Ibrahimovic well, who is one of the best forwards on the planet, so we will simply have a stronger lineup.

He knows me well - I always choose the players who are most suitable for the team at that time.

Therefore, if Ibra proves he is the best when he arrives, then he will play. And if he ends up on the bench among other players, that's just life," Mourinho assured.

It is predicted that the veteran may appear on the field in December or January."
