Although Zlatan Ibrahimović officially left Manchester United after the end of his contract, team coach Jose Mourinho mentioned the possibility of developing him further with the Red Devils.
The sniper who moved from Paris Saint-Germain to England scored 17 goals last season, but his season had to end prematurely due to a knee injury.
The 35-year-old veteran will only complete his rehabilitation in the autumn, so it was certain that he would look for a new club. However, reports in the media recently suggested that the Swede could remain in the ranks of the "red devils," and their strategist has now spoken about it.
"Perhaps this is an open question. Of course, we wanted to be honest and open and allow him to make his own decision," Mourinho said when asked about Ibra's future with Manchester United.
"At the same time, let's make a decision that will delight us all, and if it means he stays and we wait - let's say, maybe until December, because I don't think he can return to competitive football before December - why not wait for a player who has given us so much?"
"We change our minds and it depends on Mr. Woodward (Manchester United's executive director) and Zlatan's agent (Mino Raiola), but the final decision will be the best for the footballer."
As for the next stops in Ibrahimović's career, the MLS clubs LA Galaxy and Los Angeles FC are most commonly mentioned.
