Zlatan Ibrahimovic to return to Manchester United’s training ground in the next 24 hours as he eyes new deal
Swede is set to arrive at Carrington as he continues to recover from his injury and work towards a new contract at Old Trafford
ZLATAN IBRAHIMOVIC is expected to return to Manchester United’s Carrington training complex within the next 24 hours.
The Swedish legend has been carrying out his rehab with United after a horror knee ligament injury.
The 35-year-old was ordered to take it easy last week by his American surgeons over fears he was pushing too hard for a return.
But he will resume his rapid comeback shortly and is set to sign a sensational new deal with United within the next few months.
An Old Trafford source said: “Zlatan will be coming back to resume his rehab from his knee operation very shortly.
“He’s been told to calm it down a bit, but that’s just not what he’s like, he’s so determined.
“Everyone is delighted with his progress, but want him to strike the right balance between rehab and recovery.
“He’s sure to come back to the club on a contract, and they want him fit and raring to go.”
