Ibrahimovic says his wages was deducted
Ibrahimovic has spoken about a recent incident that happened to him while still playing for Manchester United.
Ibrahimovic said as reported by the Mirror, "One thing surprised me: everyone thinks of United as a top club, one of the richest and most powerful in the world and seen from the outside it looked that way to me. But once I was there I found a small, closed mentality."
"One day I was in the hotel with the team before a game. I got thirsty so I opened the mini-bar and had fruit juice.
"We played and then went home. Some time went by. My pay slip arrives. Normally I don’t look at it. I only do so at the end of the year to see what’s come in and what’s gone out.

Rabiot extends Juventus contract to end Man United speculation
Adrien Rabiot has signed a one-year contract extension with Juventus amid strong interest from Manchester United.
“But that time, I don’t know why, I was curious and realised they’d taken a pound off my monthly wage.
"I called the team manager: ‘Excuse me, why have they taken a pound off my salary.’ The team manager had a look and told me: ‘It was the fruit juice from the mini-bar.’ ‘Are you kidding, seriously?’ ‘No, I’m not.
“Here, if you order something you have to pay for it.’ ‘Sure, but I didn’t go to the hotel on my own accord. I wasn’t on holiday. It was my workplace. I was there for Manchester. If I have to play and I'm thirsty, I have to drink. I can’t go on the pitch dehydrated.’
"Can you believe it? A quid? Something like that would never happen in Italy. These are the details that make a difference and earn the respect of the players."
He also goes on to state in his book how he was asked to show identification every time he entered the United training ground, something which infuriated him as he felt he was the best player in the world and should have been recognisable.
