undergone successful knee surgery and will make a
full recovery, according to his agent.
Ibrahimovic, 35, suffered the injury during a Europa
League clash against Anderlecht last month,
sparking fears it could be career-ending.
In a statement on Monday, the Swede's agent Mino
Raiola said the procedure had been a success.
"Zlatan Ibrahimovic has undergone successful knee
surgery," the statement read.
"He will make a full recovery AND HAS NOT
SUFFERED A CAREER-ENDING INJURY.
"The procedure was performed by Freddie Fu, M.D.,
and Volker Musahl, M.D., of the UPMC Sports
Medicine program in Pittsburgh.
"Zlatan has started rehabilitation at UPMC and will
remain under the care of Dr. Fu and Dr. Musahl
throughout his recovery."
Ibrahimovic has been a standout in his first season
at United, scoring 28 goals in all competitions to
silence his critics.
United sit fifth in the Premier League and are in the
semi-finals of the Europa League, facing Celta Vigo
in their last-four tie starting Thursday.
