Man United's Jose Mourinho Responds To Zlatan Ibrahimovic Exit Rumours

-

Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho has suggested Zlatan Ibrahimovic is free to leave the club amid interest from LA Galaxy.




The MLS side have been linked with a move for Ibrahimovic, who is out of contract at Manchester United in the summer.


Ibrahimovic is currently out with a knee problem after suffering a setback shortly following his return from a serious knee injury in November.


With the arrival of Alexis Sanchez as another option in attack, the need for the 36-year-old striker has diminished.


And though Mourinho stressed Ibrahimovic has not spoken to him about LA Galaxy, he stopped short of insisting the former Barcelona and AC Milan ace would stay.


"He has never mentioned anything to me," Mourinho said.


"Zlatan (is in the) last year of contract. If, if, if. I repeat he said nothing to me but if it is true and he wants a future in another club and country we are here to help and create conditions for that to happen, not to make his life difficult.


"But, I repeat, the last thing Zlatan told me was hewants to recover totally and feel ready to help the team."


Ibrahimovic remains on the sidelines for United ahead of their match against Tottenham on Wednesday but Mourinho is ready to give him time to recover.


He said: ”He's working hard to be fit. I'm not saying injured, because he's not injured.


“I think he's trying to feel really ready for the demands of Premier League football."
