Zlatan Ibrahimovic has confirmed he is in talks with Manchester United over an improved contract at Old Trafford, saying he “never leaves a job unfinished.”
The 35-year-old, who has been instrumental under new manager Jose Mourinho, has an option of a further 12-month contract after he moved to Manchester United from French super club Paris-Saint Germain last summer on a free.
The Swedish international has being linked with moves to the MLS and China in recent months, but manager Jose Mourinho has confirmed he would love to keep the 35-yeard-old, who has confirmed he is discussing his future with the Red Devils.
The forward, who has scored 15 goals in 25 Premier League appearances, has already won the Community Shield and the EFL Cup under Jose Mourinho in the 35-year-old’s first season.
The former Barcelona, AC Milan and Juventus forward has been pivotal in Manchester United’s push for the Europa League and a top-four finish in the Premier League this season.
When asked about a new contract, the Swedish international told the Manchester Evening News:
Let’s see what happens, we are talking.
I have an option for another year, I want to do great as long as I’m here, so let us see, there is a lot of time.
I’m enjoying being at a fantastic club, without doubts, one of the biggest clubs in the world with a great coach. I know him before, he’s a winner, he’s the perfect coach for this club.
Being a Manchester United player, I don’t know how many people have that possibility but I am a Man United player, people wanted me here, I chose the club, I chose the best English club, that’s the way it works.
