Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho "feels" Zlatan Ibrahimovic will be back before Christmas.

Mourinho was asked today for an update on the recovery of Ibrahimovic and Paul Pogba.

He said: "Paul is not here, I don't know when he comes back, when he's available, I've no idea.

"Zlatan is here, he's working here, under our control, he's working so so so so hard but he's not to be back in the next week or couple of weeks, let him take his time and be back when everyone feels is the right moment. Do I think he will be back in 2017, yes I do. But is just a feeling."
