Manchester United recruit Zlatan Ibrahimovic is a funny guy, according to manager Jose Mourinho.

Ibrahimovic, 34, has reunited with Mourinho after signing a one-year deal with the Premier League giants.

The Swedish striker is often labelled arrogant, but his manager believes the former Paris Saint-Germain, Inter and Barcelona star is misunderstood.

Mourinho had nothing but kind words to describe his signing, telling Adidas Front Row: "Zlatan? Three words - he's a winner, he's a goalscorer, he's funny.
