Jose Mourinho Gives Update On Zlatan Ibrahimovic Return... Here is what He said

Jose Mourinho is confident Zlatan Ibrahimovic will make his eagerly-awaited Manchester United comeback before the turn of the year. The 36-year-old required knee surgery at the start of May following a cruciate knee ligament injury and has subsequently missed the start of United’s season. Despite still being in the early part of his rehabilitation, United opted to hand Ibrahimovic a new deal in August and the iconic Swede is now closing in on his return, with reports earlier this week claiming he had taken part in a training session alongside his teammates for the first time in five months.

‘Zlatan is here,’ said Mourinho ahead of Saturday’s match against Huddersfield. ‘He’s working here and under our control. ‘He’s working as you would expect – so, so, so hard. But he’s not going to be back in the next week or the next couple of weeks.

‘Let him take his time and be back when everybody feels is the right moment. Do I believe he’ll be back in 2017? Yes, I do. But it’s just a feeling.’
