Twitter user Italian Football TV claimed to have watched the footage '100 times' to find out exactly what was said in the war of words.
And they suggest that Ibrahimovic called Lukaku a "donkey," with his former teammate wasting no time in firing back by calling him a "b***h."
Lukaku, who left United in 2019 to sign for Inter, fired back an expletive response directed to Ibrahimovic and the Milan star's wife.

Milan were reduced to 10 men in the second half as Ibrahimovic was booked again in the 58th minute for a foul on Aleksandar Kolarov.
Former Tottenham star Christian Eriksen came off the bench late into the second half and scored a fantastic free-kick to seal a 2-1 win for Inter in injury time.
