Ibrahimovic not an option to ease out striker problems: Mourinho

TIL Desk Sports/ Admitting that he has got striker problems ahead of the Premier League game against Everton, Manchester United coach Jose Mourinho has ruled out bringing Zlatan Ibrahimovic back to the fold.

The United boss replied “no” when asked whether Ibrahimovic was an option keeping in mind Romelu Lukaku’s poor form, the Belgian has gone eight games without a goal.

“Well, against Juventus to give him (Lukaku) a break, I don’t think (Michael) Carrick can play as a striker. Or we play with the players that we did or we decide to give a rest to Lukaku, then (Marcus) Rashford, who plays as a winger,” Mourinho said.

“We are not in the best moment to try to think about resting players or try to find solutions. The solution is to use the players we have. One day he will score and one day his confidence levels will be back to normal, which clearly they are not (at the moment) but I always feel that.”
