Jose Mourinho has sanctioned the offer of a new contract to Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

The superstar Swede left Old Trafford at the end of last season after his contract expired.

He also suffered a serious knee injury which has ruled him out until the New Year.

But Mourinho wants Ibrahimovic back and will make an offer of a return in January.

Ibrahimovic is said to be making a speedy recovery and he’s continuing his rehabilitation at United’s Carrington training base.

The Daily Record say Mourinho wants Ibrahimovic in January plus three more new faces to arrive in this window.

A holding midfielder, full-back and one of a winger or No.10 is on Mourinho’s wish list.

A return for Ibrahimovic would negate the need to sign a new No.10.

Mourinho thinks £75m man Romulu Lukaku, Anthony Martial and Marcus Rashford can do the job until the 35-year-old’s proposed return in the New Year.

Tiemoue Bakayoko always had his heart set on a move to Chelsea.

Starsport revealed last week that Manchester United attempted to hijack the Blues' move for the Monaco star.

The Red Devils agreed a fee with the Ligue 1 champions for Bakayoko but Chelsea are set to win the race for the 22-year-old.

And according to the Independent, the France international never wanted to join United.

They say the midfielder had decided early on that he wanted to go to Stamford Bridge and had no interest in going elsewhere.

The Independentadd that Bakayoko will complete his £39.7m deal to Chelsea tomorrow.

Dwight Yorke has backed Romelu Lukaku to be a smash hit at United.

The Belgian ace moved to Old Trafford from Everton for £75m earlier this week.

United were linked with Real Madrid’s Alvaro Morata and Yorke can understand why some fans wanted the Spaniard.

He told ESPN FC: “In my opinion he's my first choice and I'm delighted he's joined our football club.

"I know that the boy Morata is the people's choice because he's a more glamorous one.

"But when you look in terms of consistency, in terms of what someone's done in the Premier League who has been there and done it over the past three seasons, he's been one of the most consistent.

"In my opinion a great person for us to join our club.

"I think that what he needs to do is go in and be himself.

“That's the reason why they paid this enormous fee for him, because he's a great player and he has to believe he's a great player.

"Yes he's come into a much bigger club, no disrespect to Everton, they are a magnificent club themselves but when you make this step up, the scrutiny, the expectation is something that has gone up another level."
