Zlatan
Ibrahimovic will play no further part in Manchester United's season due to the
knee injury sustained against Anderlecht on Thursday night, according to a report.
The
35-year-old landed awkwardly in the second half when challenging for a high
ball in the Red Devils' eventual 2-1 extra-time win, leaving boss Jose Mourinho
preparing himself for the worst.
Mourinho
said after the match that he would wait until the former Paris Saint-Germain
striker underwent a scan before giving further comment, but Sky Sports News
reports that the damage was substantial enough to rule him out for the last
month of the campaign.
Ibrahimovic
has been a key figure up front for United this season, adapting with ease to
life in English football by netting 17 times in the Premier League and 28 times
overall.
Questions
still remain over the ex-Sweden international's future at Old Trafford beyond
the end of the current campaign, with recent reports strongly linking him to
Major League Soccer, meaning that he may have played his last game for United.
