But it appears the pair are actually TOO eager to make impression, with Mourinho worried they’ll hurt themselves due to their intensity at Carrington.

Rojo told Clarin: “[Mourinho’s] always happy, close to the players, he’s a very happy person. He helped me a lot, he got the best out of me.

“He always tells us to play quietly in practice because with Ibra, we kill each other with kicks.”

“He’s an amazing character, but for those who don’t know him, he seems like a big-head, but he’s a phenomenon. He’s a beast who goes forward and wants to win everything.

“I asked Ibra that now that they [Sweden] are in the World Cup, if he would like to go. He says no but I don’t know… for me he has to go.”

Meanwhile, outcast left-back Luke Shaw can be exclusively revealed by SunSport as United’s fittest player in training.

Despite falling out of Mourinho’s plans, the former Southampton star came joint-top with captain Antonio Valencia in a series of tests used to indicate fitness levels.

Shaw isn’t expected to remain at Old Trafford for much longer, with reports claiming he will be used in a swap deal for Tottenham’s Danny Rose.
