Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho has confirmed that the club is
trying to resign Swede striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
The 35 year old played 46 matches last season scoring 28 goals, and
was in line for a one year contract extension, before he suffered a
knee ligament injury in April while playing in the Europa League.
Now the Portuguese speaking on Friday ahead of Manchester United
league opener has hinted that the club is looking to re-sign him when
he is back to fitness in the second half of the season.
"We are discussing the possibility of him to stay with us," he said
"You know he's injured, he needs time to recover, he's not ready to
play tomorrow.
"It's not something urgent, that we are desperate to have it done or
not done, I just think that he was very clear by showing what he did
last year was not enough for him.
"He thinks he can do more and wants more at the highest level so we
are having conversations and we are discussing the possibility of him
to stay with us for the second part of the season."
Manchester United have brought in Romelu Lukaku as the Swede's replacement.
In the mean time, he is currently working his way back to fitness by
during the Manchester United training facilities.
