Manchester United Manager Jose Mourinho met the media a few hours ago to preview tomorrow’s Premier League match with Swansea City at Old Trafford. We have video of the entire media session for you here below via YouTube.
There were a whole host of topics covered in this news conference, including: Mourinho saying how much he will miss Zlatan Ibrahimovic, his feelings on Luke Shaw/the possibility of selecting him, his discrediting the report claiming he had a conversation with Didier Deschamps about Paul Pogba, the fitness/injury situation and much much more.
Here’s the whole session, which runs just over seven minutes:

“For me it’s always sad when the big players go in the direction of the end,” Mourinho said about Ibrahimovic at his news conference today.
“I remember for example Figo, last match with me and with Inter, and I always remember as one of my saddest moments because I always feel very, very sorry when the big ones finish or go to the last period of their careers.
“Zlatan’s goodbye moment was more in that direction, he’s a huge, big player that topped football. European football is losing now and forever because he will not be back to this level of football, but fantastic for him in this period.”
“It will be just a way for him to enjoy the last couple of years of his football.”
