Zlatan Ibrahimovic was targeted by Manchester City's staff during the dressing-room bust-up that followed the Manchester derby on Sunday.
That's according to fresh reports from Spain, which claim that Manchester United players became infuriated by the comments levelled at the Swede.
A spat broke out between the two sides shortly after the weekend's fixture, as the City players celebrated their victory over-exuberantly.
Jose Mourinho is said to have entered the away dressing room to tell the City team to pipe down, and became engaged in an argument with Ederson.

Milk, water and bottles were then thrown in the direction of the Manchester United boss as players from both teams clashed in the tunnel, although City chiefs refute this claim.
In the melee, Manchester City coach Mikel Arteta was hit with a bottle, allegedly thrown by Romelu Lukaku, and suffered a cut to his eye.

He was photographed the following day covering his face while driving into Manchester City's training ground.
Since the incident it has been alleged that Ibrahimovic was targeted by members of City's backroom staff prior to the spat.

According to Marca, the Manchester United striker was told: "Ibra, you talk a lot but you move a little," by a group who then entered the City dressing room.
It is not known if Ibrahimovic was involved in the ruckus that followed.
