Raiola convinced Man Utd striker Ibrahimovic has years left

The agent of Manchester United striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic says he has years left of playing.

Ibrahimovic turned 36 at the beginning of October as he progresses into his 18th season as a professional.

The Swedish superstar is currently recovering from a serious knee injury which he suffered back in April in the Europa League.

And Raiola believes his client will be signing plenty more deals before he hangs up his boots.

"He has so much in him," Raiola told Expressen. "I think minimum another five or six years.

"I won't let him stop, he has to work for me now. I have been working for him for several years. Now it's my turn. My children are grown up and I need money.

"We have agreed that he is only working for me for five years now. So we're flipping it now. The salary comes to me and he gets the commission."
