Zlatan Ibrahimovic may have left Manchester United on an official basis on July 1, but the Swedish striker is still hanging around their Carrington training ground on a daily basis.

Ibrahimovic is officially a free agent after Jose Mourinho decided against renewing his contract, but has been told he can continue to use the facilities at their world-class Aon Training Complex while he recovers from a serious knee injury.

He was seen being driven away from the training ground on Wednesday afternoon following another session of rehabilitation as he looks to return to full fitness ahead of his next career move.

Ibrahimovic is currently a free agent after Manchester United allowed his contract to expire

The 35-year-old required surgery in his right knee after suffering a horrific cruciate ligament injury against Anderlecht in the Europa League in April.

Not only was the knee injury enough to end his Manchester United career prematurely but, even now, there is no guarantee that he will return to the top level.

There are a number of clubs willing to give him the kind of chance that Manchester United were not with Atletico Madrid, AC Milan and LA Galaxy all credited with an interest in recent weeks.

The Swedish star has attracted interest from a number of clubs despite his injury struggles

The longer he stays around Carrington, the more chance that he will eventually impress Mourinho sufficiently to earn a new contract. After all, a number of fans already wanted to see their club renew his 12-month deal despite the injury.

Ibrahimovic became a cult hero among the Old Trafford faithful after scoring an impressive 28 goals and providing a further 10 assists. He also won the EFL Cup and Europa League trophy.

What looks most likely, however, is a move across the Atlantic where several Major League Soccer clubs would love to make him their next marquee arrival.
