Mourinho: Ibrahimovic ready for Europa League

Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho has said that Zlatan Ibrahimovic is available for his side’s Europa League match with Fenerbahce.

Since moving to Old Trafford in the summer, Ibrahimovic has featured in each of United’s 12 fixtures but Mourinho has suggested that he has no plans to rest the 35-year-old for the game with the Turkish giants, despite fixtures with Chelsea and Manchester City coming up in the next seven days.

The 53-year-old told reporters: “I am really happy. He is giving us exactly what we need from him, what we expect from him.

“He is fit and always ready to play. The young guys look up to him and that’s great because he can only influence them positively.”

Ibrahimovic has scored six times in all competitions this season.
