Man Utd boss Mourinho: Second season for Zlatan?

Published on: 27 February 2017

Jose Mourinho insists he will not place any pressure on Zlatan Ibrahimovic to commit to a second season with Manchester United.

The 35-year-old Swedish striker signed a one-year deal with the option of a further 12 months when he joined from PSG for free in the summer.

Ibrahimovic scored a match-winning brace in the 3-2 EFL Cup final win over Southampton at Wembley today to take his United scoring tally to 26 matches in all competitions but Mourinho is not saying for certain if he will stay beyond this campaign.

"I never beg for a player to sign a contract, I never beg for a player to play for me," he said.

"One day Zlatan decided to go to Barca from Inter. I was very sad, but I did nothing to try to stop him from going.

"I don't beg for players but if needed, I think United fans can go to the door of his house and stay there all night if needed. I think they will go for sure.

"We want, we believe, that he is going to stay with us for one more season."
