Manchester United chiefs took a leap of faith in Zlatan Ibrahimovic's character by handing him new terms this season.
The Manchester Evening News sasy United gambled on re-signing Zlatan Ibrahimovic early to avoid other clubs swooping.
Jose Mourinho and United's hierarchy were so concerned about the prospect of Ibrahimovic signing elsewhere, they took the leap of faith and offered him a new contract half-way through his recovery.
Even with the injury being career-threatening, United trusted Ibrahimovic would be back due to his impressive physical condition.
Meanwhile, former Chelsea star Andy Townsend says Luke Shaw needs to quit United and return to London.
While suitors Tottenham have a strict wage cap, Townsend believes 22-year-old Shaw should look to go for the sake of his future.
“Yes he should consider a pay cut," Townsend told Sky Sports' The Debate when asked about a move to Tottenham.
