Despite the lures of the lucrative MLS and Chinese Super League, Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho said evergreen striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic will bow out of the game at Old Trafford.
At 35 years of age, Ibrahimovic has shown he still has plenty of football left in the tank with the former Sweden captain United's top scorer this season having netted 16 goals in 25 appearances in all competitions, 11 of those coming in the Premier League.
"I'm really happy for him. Maybe some people thought he was a top scorer but not anymore at 35 years old. But for him, 35 is the same as 25, Ligue 1 is the same as the Premier League," Mourinho said via Sky Sports.
"He scores goals, he plays well and I'm really happy for him because he will end his career on a high, which is amazing. He's not ending his career in America or in China, he's ending his career at the top of the top.
"I'm really pleased with him. His record is good and he can improve. With no penalties, which is amazing too because normally the other guys that are top scorers around the world, they score a lot of penalties.
"He has had one penalty in 17 Premier League matches so I couldn't be happier."
