Manchester United will extend Zlatan Ibrahimovic contract - Jose Mourinho
Jose Mourinho has confirmed that Manchester United will exercise their option to extend Zlatan Ibrahimovic's contract for a second season.
Ibrahimovic, 35, joined United on a free transfer from Paris Saint-Germain in the summer but suggested this week he remains keen to play in Major League Soccer in the future.
"Zlatan's situation is simple," Mourinho told a news conference ahead of Thursday's game against Feyenoord. "He has one plus one. We are happy with him. We are going to execute the option of a second season. After that he can do what he wants."
Ibrahimovic has struggled to consistently replicate the form he showed at his previous clubs but, when a journalist suggested that the Swede has not been shining as much as in the past, he replied: "I shine 24 hours. I'm getting older yes, but I'm shining in one way or another but if you want to shine even more I will try to do it for you.
