Manchester United to extend Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s contract, confirms Mourinho

"We are going to execute the option of a second season. After that he can do what he wants," Mourinho told BBC.

Ibrahimovic, previously with Ajax, Juventus, Inter Milan, Barcelona, and AC Milan, joined the Manchester-based club on a free transfer after his contract with French club PSG expired. The former Sweden skipper, who announced his international retirement after the Euro 2016, had a decent start to his career at Old Trafford, scoring eight goals in 17 appearances across all competitions.

“I feel in shape, feel fresh and good. If I feel like I do now, it will be a second year," Ibrahimovic told BBC.

Ibrahimovic has won a trophy every season since 2001, and was named Sweden’s best player of the year for the 10th successive year on Monday. A statue of him is to be erected in Stockholm in honour of his achievements.

However, his trophy-winning run appears to be danger this season with United struggling at 6th place in the Premier League.
