STOCKHOLM (Reuters) - Swedish striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic said on Wednesday that Jose Mourinho would be the manager to bring the Premier League title back to Manchester United, but he declined to comment whether he had received an offer to play at the club next season.

"It's a great move. If you want action, you bring Mourinho. I believe he is the man to bring them back to the top," he told a news conference ahead of Monday's Sweden-Slovenia friendly.
