Manchester United striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic has launched a fresh attack on Pep Guardiola.

The Swede played under Guardiola during his time at Barcelona with the pair falling out before he moved on to Inter Milan.

It is believed Ibrahimovic was at the heart of the Old Trafford brawl on Sunday following City's victory over United.

Ibrahimovic has reasserted his view on his former boss in an interview with Sky Italia, reports the Manchester Evening News.

"I told Guardiola that he’d sacrificed the other players for Messi," he said. "He told me he understood me.

“After that, he put me on the bench for the next game, the one after that and the one after that.

“And I thought, ‘he’s solved the problem very well I see!’ After that, he didn’t talk to me or even look at me.

“I’d walk into a room and he’d walk out. I’d go to meet him and he’d go somewhere else. I understood that there was something beyond football.

“But the problem was his, it was he who hadn’t solved the problem with me. I remember on my first day, he told me that the Barcelona players didn’t turn up to training in Ferraris or Porsches.

“He’d already judged me then, but if you don’t know a person then you can’t judge them. I had my experience with him, I don’t know about others.

“But I read the same thing had happened to Mandzukic and Eto’o. He wasn’t the worst coach I’d worked under, but he was certainly the most immature because a man solves his problems.”
