Jose Mourinho confirms that Manchester United will exercise their option to keep Zlatan Ibrahimovic contracted to the club until the end of the 2017-18 campaign.

Jose Mourinho has confirmed that Manchester United will exercise their option to keep Zlatan Ibrahimovic contracted to the Premier League club until the end of the 2017-18 campaign.

Ibrahimovic, who has scored eight times in 17 appearances this season, joined Man United on an initial one-year deal in the summer after his contract with Paris Saint-Germain expired.

Recent reports had claimed that the Swede could move on at the end of this campaign, but Mourinho has confirmed that the experienced striker will spend another 18 months in English football.

"Ibrahimovic situation is simple. He has one plus one deal. We are happy with him. We are going to execute option of a second season," Mourinho told reporters. "He's happy, he's committed, he's loving his life as football player at Man United and it's the last big challenge of his wonderful career."

Ibrahimovic is available for Man United's Europa League clash with Feyenoord on Thursday night after missing the Arsenal game at the weekend through suspension.
