The former Manchester United player who confessed his discontent because he was deducted 1 pound for a drink

Zlatan Ibrahimovic, known for his outspokenness and larger-than-life personality, has not held back when recalling his time at Manchester United. The Swede has branded the English club as having a "small mentality," citing an incident in which he was charged a pound for a fruit juice from the hotel mini-bar during a team stay.

The Mini-Bar Incident: A Revealing Anecdote

"One day I was in the hotel with the team before a match. I was thirsty, so I opened the mini-bar and had a fruit juice," Ibrahimovic recounted. "My payslip arrives. I don't normally look at it. I only do it at the end of the year to see what has come in and what has gone out. But that time, I don't know why, I was curious, and I noticed they had taken a pound from my monthly salary."

The Team Director's Reaction: A Turning Point

When he asked the team director about the deduction, the response was that it was for the fruit juice from the mini-bar. "'Are you kidding, seriously?' 'No, I'm not. Here, if you order something, you have to pay for it,'" Ibrahimovic recalled.

Ibrahimovic's Logic: A Reasonable Complaint

The Swede argued that he hadn't gone to the hotel of his own accord, but it was his workplace and he needed to hydrate to play. "If I have to play and I'm thirsty, I have to drink. I can't go out on the pitch dehydrated," he pointed out.

"Everyone thinks Manchester United is a top club, one of the richest and most powerful in the world, and from the outside, it seemed like that to me. Once there, I found a small and closed mentality," he stated.
