Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho has hailed Zlatan Ibrahimovic as 'absolutely phenomenal' in his first season in England and believes the striker deserves to win the Ballon d'Or.
Ibrahimovic has made a mockery of his age to score 26 goals for United since arriving on a one-year deal last summer, and he is expected to trigger an extension to his contract.
The Swede scored twice as United lifted their first piece of major silverware under Mourinho in the 3-2 victory over Southampton in the EFL Cup final, and the Portuguese is surprised Ibrahimovic is yet to win FIFA's world player of the year award.
