As reported by Sky, the future of Zlatan Ibrahimovic remains in doubt after his agent refused to confirm that the Swedish legend would be staying at Manchester United next season.

What’s the story?

Ibrahimovic’s contract at Old Trafford runs out this summer and what had seemed certain, him staying to lead the Red Devils’ attack, was cast in doubt when he suffered a serious knee injury against Anderlecht in the UEFA Europa League.

Now his agent has revealed clubs are in for the striker and that could mean an end to his whirlwind spell under Jose Mourinho.

As quoted by Sky, Mino Raiola said:

Many clubs have asked for Zlatan. He can play two more years and will stay in Europe, 100 per cent.

Will the 35-year-old leave Manchester just a year after his high profile signing?

Plenty to offer

In truth, a renewal of Ibrahimovic’s contract would represent something of a risk for Manchester United. Knee injuries are nothing to sniff at, especially at the striker’s age, and there’s no guarantee he would be the same player he once was.

However, you’d back the Swede to overcome any obstacle that comes his way over the next few months, he’s proven time and again that little can keep him down.

Having scored 28 goals this season, he’s capable of that again and Manchester United should absolutely pursue any chance of retaining his services at Old Trafford.
