Zlatan Ibrahimovic, in an act of honesty, has decided to forgo his salary for as long as he is not playing. The decision was entirely down to the Swedish striker, who will not accept close to 13 million pounds from the Red Devils.
Mourinho has offered the 35-year-old a new deal, but Zlatan does not want to accept that sum without being able to play for half of the season.
Even so, the decision must not be associated with a lack of commitment from the centre-forward, whose current contract expires in the summer. It is a sincere answer from a footballer who wants to earn his wages on the pitch.
