These type of comments are reported every time there's a crucial game coming - this time it's Man U vs Inter next week. Some people call them mind games but I call them just pointless stupidity. Mourinho's team is just coming from a 3-0 drubbing by Sampdoria in the Italian Cup and he's already seeing another drubbing coming next Wednesday when they meet Man United at the fortress. Only a conceited idiot would rank Ibrahimovic as being better than Ronaldo, Messi and Kaka. I wouldn't even rank him in the top 10 players.
