WATCH: Zlatan Ibrahimovic rehabilitating in Manchester United gear will be reassuring for fans

Hopefully he's back sooner rather than later

It looks like he’s sticking around.

It is a month to the day that Zlatan Ibrahimovic suffered a shocking knee injury against Anderlecht in the Europa League.

The Swede was ruled out for the season and reportedly did not accept a contract extension to stay at Old Trafford for another year.

Although that may worry fans, his reasoning was that he could not accept the massive wages that the club are paying him without playing.

And in a video posted to his Instagram account, Ibrahimovic is seen recovering in a swimming pool, in his Manchester United gear.

Although the former PSG player teases that he will be ready for United’s Europa League Final against Ajax, it is highly unlikely – Henry Shefflin tried that once and it did not work out so well.

But the donning of Manchester United gear could mean that the 35-year-old is not planning on leaving Manchester anytime soon.
