Zlatan Ibrahimovic is expected to return to action in October despite initially being ruled out.

The Swedish international striker suffered serious knee ligament damage during Manchester United's Europa League victory over RSC Anderlecht in April.

Ibrahimovic is set to sign a new deal at Manchester United upon his recovery, according to a report published by the Sun.

Although he is no longer in Manchester United, Zlatan opted to stay in England and continue with his recovery process.

With Manchester United signing Romelu Lukaku from Everton, Ibrahimovic is said to be eager to get back on the pitch as soon as possible in order to rival the Belgian for the starting role up in Jose Mourinho's squad.
