José Mourinho Confirmed That Manchester United Are In Talks To Bring Zlatan Ibrahimović Back To The Club

Jose Mourinho has admitted Manchester United ARE in talks with Zlatan Ibrahimovic over a new deal with the club.

Goal revealed last month how United had begun negotiations with the Swedish striker over returning to Old Trafford once he recovers from a serious knee injury.

And Mourinho has today confirmed he is trying to agree a deal which will see the 35-year-old link up with the squad for the majority of this season.

Mourinho said:-

We are discussing the possibility of him to stay with us.

Ibrahimovic has not played since he suffered a serious knee injury in the Europa League clash with Anderlecht in April that ended his season.

The former Barcelona and Inter Milan striker was forced to undergo knee surgery in America in an effort to save his career.

With the early prognosis he would be out of action until the start of 2018, it meant Ibrahimovic’s career at United was over as boss Mourinho looked to make changes in the summer.
