Zlatan Ibrahimovic has signed a new one year deal with Manchester
United. The club has announced.
The 35 year old previous contract had expired in June, and wasn't
renewed, because of a knee ligament injury. But after making
appreciable progress, the club has granted him a contract his goal
haul had triggered before he sustained his knee injury in April.
He will wear the club's number ten shirt vacated by Wayne Rooney
following his move to Everton.
On the new deal, Jose Mourinho told the club's website thus;
"We are delighted Zlatan is on the road to recovery and we are equally
delighted to have his ambition and experience back with us. After his
contribution last season he deserves our trust and we will be patient
waiting for him to return. I have no doubt that he will be important
in the second part of the season."
While the Swede had this to say about this new contract: "I am back to
finish what I started. It was always mine and the club's intention for
me to stay. I cannot wait to get back out on that Old Trafford pitch,
but I also know that I have to take my time to make sure that I am
ready. I have been working hard and will continue to do so to make
sure I am in the best possible condition for my return to the pitch."
He scored 28 goals from 46 appearances last season. He would be
looking to add to that haul in the second half of the season.
