Ibrahimovic famously went to train with the Gunners before he joined Ajax, but was asked to prove himself before signing a deal, something that did not go down well with the enigmatic forward:
“Today, Wenger says it was a misunderstanding. But I didn’t like being asked to prove myself,’ he said in an interview with the Guardian. I know I’m good enough. I don’t need to show it to you. Either you know who I am or you don’t.”
“I remember being in Wenger’s office and you could tell he was the boss. But I don’t think I was so close. I went to Ajax the next day.”
The Swede has also praised former manager Jose Mourinho, who was involved in a touchline scuffle with Wenger at yesterday’s London derby, for his intelligence and treatment of players:
“Mourinho is very intelligent. He doesn’t treat everybody the same. He knows how to treat people as individuals to get 100% out of them.
