Club sources say Mourinho wants Zlatan Ibrahimovic back at Manchester United
The Swedish international is currently out with a serious knee injury

Zlatan Ibrahimovic could be set for a coaching role at Manchester United once his playing career ends.

The Swedish international is currently out with a serious knee injury picked up in the Europa League win over Anderlecht in April, with that being his last game for the club before his deal ran out in June.

With Ibrahimovic eager to play again, talks have been staged with United over a new contract, with Jose Mourinho also keen to keep around a player whose influence on the squad he sees as key.

Mourinho confirmed last week that talks had started over a new deal.

“We are discussing the possibility of him to stay with us,” the Portuguese said in Macedonia, when performing media duties for the Uefa Super Cup.

“It was very clear from him that what he did last year was not enough for him. He wants more football at the highest level so we are having conversations and discussing the possibility of him staying for the second part of the season.

"He is injured, he needs time to recover, and is not ready to play tomorrow. It’s not something that’s urgent, it’s not desperate to have it done or not.”
