Manchester United have re-signed Zlatan Ibrahimovic on a one-year contract.<\/p>\n
The 35-year-old former Sweden striker made 46 appearances and scored 28 goals for United last season.<\/p>\n
Ibrahimovic was released by the club in June after his season was ended prematurely by a knee injury, but he is expected to be fit again in December.<\/p>\n
“After his contribution last season he deserves our trust and we will be patient waiting for him to return,” said manager Jose Mourinho.<\/p>\n
Ibrahimovic, who initially joined the Red Devils on free transfer in July 2016, had been recuperating at United’s training ground after having knee surgery.<\/p>\n
Mourinho added: “We are delighted Zlatan is on the road to recovery and we are equally delighted to have his ambition and experience back with us.<\/p>\n
“I have no doubt that he will be important in the second part of the season.”<\/p>\n
Ibrahimovic said: “I am back to finish what I started. It was always mine and the club’s intention for me to stay.<\/p>\n
“I cannot wait to get back out on that Old Trafford pitch, but I also know that I have to take my time to make sure that I am ready. I have been working hard and will continue to do so to make sure I am in the best possible condition for my return to the pitch.”<\/p>\n
