The 35-year-old Zlatan Ibrahimovic has reportedly suffered serious ligaments damage in
his right knee and might not play again till January 2018 at the
earliest, sources have told ESPN.
Ibrahimovic
underwent scans in Manchester on Friday, after sustaining the injury
during United’s 2-1 win over Anderlecht in the Europa League on Thursday
.
Italian sports journalist, Gianluca Di Marzio, earlier reported that
the Swedish striker suffered damage to his cruciate ligament.
The injury has now placed doubts over Ibrahimovic’s future at the
club, with this contract at Old Trafford due to expire at the end of
this season.
Ibrahimovic has scored 28 goals in 46 appearances for United, since
arriving on a free transfer from Paris Saint-Germain last summer.
He is expected to undergo surgery followed by a rehabilitation programme.
