Stockholm final more important for Man Utd than Swedish star Zlatan says Mourinho

Jose Mourinho says he is only worried about what is best for Manchester United and not Zlatan Ibrahimovic specifically.

The Red Devils are looking to advance to the Europa League final which will be held at the Friends Arena in Stockholm in May.

It would be a fitting venue for Ibrahimovic to try and win another trophy with United, seeing as it is the stadium where a statue of the Swedish striker has been commissioned to be erected.

Mourinho suggests that from a team viewpoint it is more important to get to the decider even if it would be a monumental moment for Zlatan.

"I don't think about it, I just think about Manchester United," Mourinho said.

"I think it would be the perfect finale for us. It would be the perfect end to the season for us, a difficult season with lots of matches.

"I think for Zlatan it would be fantastic to play the final in his country, it would be perfect, it would be beautiful."
