The Swedish striker has been urged to take it easy and not over do it as he attempts to make a quick recovery from major knee surgery.

Ibrahimovic, 35, hopes to earn a new contract at Manchester United after effectively being released at the end of last season, when his 12-month deal expired.

And United boss Jose Mourinho has confirmed talks on that are underway.

His American doctors are amazed by his progress, but have advised him to strike a balance between rest and rehabilitation.

He recently took a break from his regular routine at United’s Carrington training complex.

Ibra is ahead of schedule in his recovery and hopes to be fit by December.

He posted a message last week claiming “there was no time to rest.”

But his doctors are concerned he could suffer a setback if he attempts to do too much too soon.
