United striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who emphatically
denied quitting football is an option after suffering a
serious knee injury.
Ibrahimovic requires surgery after sustaining knee
ligament damage during United's Europa League
quarter-final win over Anderlecht on Thursday.
No timeline has been set for the striker's return but
at his age - 36 in October - and with his contract
due to expire at the end of the season, talk of
retirement has emerged.
However, in trademark Ibrahimovic fashion, the
Swedish star and United's top goalscorer this
season used social media to reassure fans he will
return stronger.
First of all, thank you for all the support
and love. Its no news I got injured so I
will be out of fotball for a while. I will go
through this like everythings else and
come back even stronger. So far I played
with one leg so it shouldn't be any
problem. One thing is for sure, I decide
when its time to stop and nothing else.
Giving up is not an option. See you soon

"First of all, thank you for all the support and love,"
Ibrahimovic wrote in a caption accompanying a
photo of his legs after United beat Burnley 2-0 in
his absence on Sunday.
"It's no news I got injured so I will be out of
football for a while.
"I will go through this like everything else and
come back even stronger. So far I played with one
leg so it shouldn't be any problem.
"One thing is for sure, I decide when it's time to
stop and nothing else. Giving up is not an option.
See you soon."
Ibrahimovic had taken the Premier League by storm
prior to his injury, scoring 28 goals in all
competitions following his arrival on a free transfer
last July after his contract with Paris Saint-
Germain expired.
