Man Utd boss Mourinho already has great contract news for Zlatan...

Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho admits Zlatan Ibrahimovic could yet extend his stay beyond his current deal.

The veteran forward signed an an initial one-year deal earlier this summer after leaving Paris Saint-Germain and has scored two goals in two games so far.

Mourinho, who also worked with the Swede at Inter Milan, said: “I see him happy, I ask him every day, because I know how important it is for a family guy like he is, I ask every day about wife, kids, house, integration, and he is happy, everybody is happy, his motivation is happy, so I have no doubt that he will be here for two years."

On Eric Bailly, he also remarked: “He is a young boy playing in a completely different competition with a different club, but despite all the pressure and expectation that comes with playing for United, he plays against Leicester at Wembley and is comfortable, leading and communicative."
