Jose Mourinho has given Zlatan Ibrahimovic some time off, excluding the Swede from Manchester United’s Europa League squad set to face Zorya on Thursday.

The Portuguese however, will be delighted to know that his star striker is keeping himself sharp by practicing even on holiday. Although, it’s probably not what Mourinho would’ve had in mind.

A video has surfaced online of Ibrahimovic using a friend as a human target in what looks like a backyard kickabout.

The 34 year-old is seen smashing the ball at his victim who hits the deck in agony as he wheels away in celebration.

With five goals in nine appearances so far for United, fans won’t be too bothered by how the Swede maintains his form.
