It’s worth noting, however, that according to Manchester Evening News, Zlatan has been offered a new contract by Jose Mourinho despite the injury, which the decorated striker has rejected out of pride. The 35-year-old had been in excellent form before getting injured, as he managed to score a handsome 28 goals in the 46 appearances for Manchester United.
Football followers all over the internet have suggested that even if Ibrahimovic recovers from the injury, he might never be the player he has been in the past, because of the spiking age of the Swedish international.
Zlatan being Zlatan, has different thoughts on that, and claims that he will only grow better with age like a fine wine.
