Ibrahimovic in the summer of 2016 moved to Manchester United on a free transfer, but in the spring of the Europa League, he suffered a serious injury, after which the Red Devils did not renew the contract with the Swede.
"We spent a lot of money on the striker, having acquired Romela Lukaku. The team needed a strong forward, - said Jose Mourinho after the match with Barcelona.
"And we did it because of what happened to Zlatan, we can not afford to be without a center forward for the first six months of the season".
It is expected that Zlatan will recover from injury until 2018.
