Zlatan Ibrahimovic at the top of his game at 34, says Jose Mourinho

 
Zlatan Ibrahimovic is at the top of his game despite his age and can spearhead Manchester United's trophy drive both at home and in Europe, says Jose Mourinho.
United boss Mourinho was thrilled with his team's 3-1 win at Bournemouth on the Premier League's opening weekend, with Juan Mata, Wayne Rooney and Ibrahimovic scoring at the Vitality Stadium.
Some have questioned whether Ibrahimovic can thrive in the fast and furious Premier League at the age of 34.
But Mourinho dismissed the Swede's age, saying: "Forget the passport, forget 34 years old: the body and mentality is not of a 34-year-old guy.

"I think he's at the top of his qualities. His table for breakfast and his table for meals, he is surrounded by the young ones, surrounded by the kids.
"Luke Shaw, Marcus Rashford, these are the guys that are with him on the table. So he knows what he can be for them.
"When I look to the players that were not on the pitch, (Jesse) Lingard, Rashford, (Henrikh) Mkhitaryan, Memphis Depay, Ashley Young, we have a lot.
"So when September arrives, when cup talk arrives and the Europa League arrives, we have the people to play and to try to be competitive in every competition."
Hailing defender Eric Bailly's Premier League bow, Mourinho also revealed he had been gripped by pre-match nerves on leading United into the new campaign.
"When you buy somebody like him you have always the question mark which is how the personality adapts to a complete different situation from before," Mourinho said of the big-money summer signing from Villarreal.

"Playing in Spain is different than England. Playing in Villarreal is different than Man U.
"Playing to finish four, five, six in the table is different to trying to win it.

"But he's showing big personality, which is incredible. But I think to be surrounded by organisation makes life easier. And the team was very solid, very compact.
"So we create a habitat of stability. But the reality is that he's showing great qualities."

When asked if he had been nervous before his first Premier League clash as United boss, Mourinho replied: "To be honest, before the match a little bit, yes, but to have that feeling is normal.

"I'll never forget one day I came to Old Trafford with Real Madrid, and before the match I was asking Sir Alex Ferguson, 'Are you still nervous?' - 'yes'.
"So I understood - never change."

Bulldog has spoken out on his acrimonious break-up with former top act Shatta Wale, who he managed for years until they abruptly ended their relationship. The whole messy break-up was interspersed with threats of violence and exposing nude photos and the like. Speaking on Hitz Fm Wednesday, Bulldog revealed that contrary to most reports, the break-up had nothing to do with money, but instead with the threats Shatta Wale made against his wife. Bulldog said when he heard Shatta Wale was threatening to release the nude photos of his wife, he knew at that point that their working relationship was over.“At the time, I had gotten information that he had my wife’s naked picture and that’s not a joke… The only reason I broke up with Shatta was my family; nothing else. I’m not money conscious. I have worked with people for free” he said. Bulldog said he just wants to set the record straight about the split. Source: ghanacelebrities.com
