Jose Mourinho is convinced Manchester United’s Man of the Match in the EFL Cup final, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, will extend his increasingly-successful Reds career into a second season, yet the manager has jokingly suggested fans should camp outside the Swede’s house to seal the deal.
Summer signing Ibrahimovic, now 35 years old, scored a superb brace against Southampton at Wembley to take his personal tally for the season to 26 goals in all competitions, emphasising his incredible contribution to a campaign that could yet yield even more trophies.
Zlatan signed a one-year deal when he joined the club in June as a free agent after leaving Paris Saint-Germain, but a second term has been much discussed in light of his top form in England.
