ESPN are reporting that Swede striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic would sign a
new contract at Manchester United.
The 35 year old ruptured his knee ligament in April and was
subsequently released when his contract expired in June. But as result
of his steady and quick recovery the injury, the report claims he is
set to sign a new contract that would keep him at the club until the
summer of 2018.
Jose Mourinho had hinted on several occasions that he would like him
to stay at the club when he recovers from his injury.
Its the same contract he was due to sign when his goals triggered a
one year extension last season. He was on 28 goals in April before he
suffered his injury in the Europa League semi final.
With Romelu Lukaku brought in as his replacement and with the
Belgian's return of three goals in three matches, the addition of the
Swede if the Old Trafford club succeed in tying him down for a further
year would only add more fire power to a United attack that has opened
the season with eight goals in two Premier League matches.
