Zlatan Ibrahimovic may have received preferential treatment from Jose Mourinho

Jose Mourinho has caused quite a stir since he was announced as Manchester United boss earlier on this summer. 

The Special One, who has replaced Louis van Gaal at Old Trafford, has already overseen plenty of change, including the departure of club legend Ryan Giggs and the arrival of Zlatan Ibrahimovic. 

Now the Swedish striker, who arrived as a free transfer having spent the last four years with Paris Saint-Germain, is the subject of a less than flatteringreport in the Times, who claim he is receiving preferential treatment from Mourinho, with whom he shares a close relationship from their time together at Inter Milan. 

That's because the 34-year-old has been given special dispensation to join up with his new team-mates at Manchester United late, even after the club's English players have returned to training. 

The Three Lions exited Euro 2016 five days later than Sweden, who were eliminated in the group stages. However, Chris Smalling, Wayne Rooney and Marcus Rashford will return ahead of the Red Devils' tour of China on Monday - although they won't feature in any of the matches.
