Zlatan Ibrahimovic is suffering from a knee injury and he could be given a chance to come back to the prestigious club of Manchester United all thanks to Jose Mourinho.
Jose Mourinho has confirmed the news and said that the former Manchester United player is welcome to come back once he recovers.
Mourinho, speaking ahead of United’s opening US tour game against Los Angeles Galaxy on Saturday, said Ibrahimovic could yet return to the club next season.
“It’s possible, it’s open,” Mourinho said.

“From his point of view, he made the decision of wanting to play football still at the highest level,” Mourinho said.
“He didn’t want to hide behind such an amazing injury. It would be easy to hide behind it and stop and go to a different level of football.
“He did not want that, he was not happy with his finish (to the season) and not playing. He made the challenge for himself to keep playing at the highest level.
“So we open our door for him to recover with us, at Old Trafford, at Carrington.”
“Let’s make a decision that makes us all happy and if that is for him to stay, and for us to wait, let’s say in December — because I don’t think before December he can get back to competitive football — but why not wait for a player who gave us so much?” Mourinho said.
