Ibrahimovic tore his knee ligaments in Manchester
United's Europa League quarter-final second leg
against Anderlecht, and was ruled out for the rest
of the season.
The 35-year-old had surgery at a medical facility
in Pittsburgh last week, and the first pictures of
him on crutches emerged on Monday.
His agent, Mino Raiola, says the surgery was so
successful that Ibrahimovic will go back to the
same place so his incredible knee can be examined
for further medical research.
"Zlatan has started rehabilitation at the
hospital. His knee is so strong that the doctors
said they had never seen anything like it," Raiola
told Expressen.se .
"He has a knee that it is almost impossible for a
football player with a 20-year career to have. It
was quite clean... there was no harm in it."
He added: "Zlatan is so strong that the doctor
wants him back after his career to research on
him.
"They work in the world's best research
institutions for the knees and ligaments. They
research a lot on the subject and that is why they
are better than everyone else. And the doctors want
Zlatan back to do research on him.
"So after Zlatan's career, we will go back and open
him up again to do research on his ligaments."
Ibrahimovic has scored 28 goals in 46
appearances for United this season in all
competitions. If Raiola is to be fully believed,
Zlatan must be even more amazing than what the
Swedish hitman thinks of himself. We didn't know
it was possible.
