Swedish football great Zlatan Ibrahimovic says he will surprise many by performing better for Manchester United than he did before suffering a serious knee injury earlier this year.
The 35 -year-old veteran striker — who defied the critics in scoring 28 goals for United last season , including crucial goals in their Community Shield and League Cup victories — told ‘ Inside United ’ he had not let the ligament injury get him down.
Ibrahimovic enjoys a good relationship with United manager Jose Mourinho, who maintained contact with him during his rehabilitation , and the Portuguese decided it was worth offering him a new one year contract last month.
I have trained every day since I had my knee operated on, there is no vacation .
“It ’ s a new challenge but I am strong mentally and when I focus on an objective nothing can stop me.
“I will go through everything , it doesn ’ t matter what’ s in my way, I will break everything to reach my goal .
“When I come back to play football on the field I will be better than before. I am not coming back because I am the one I am, I am coming back to be a better version of the old one. Imagine how that will be !”
