Zlatan Ibrahimović has continued to roll back the years at LA Galaxy and made a devastating impact in the MLS.

The 37-year-old Swedish striker has made 26 appearances for the Californian-based side and scored an incredible 22 times.

However, the future of the former Barcelona and Inter Milan star has been uncertain. He has been linked with a potential return to AC Milan, while there have been rumblings that Manchester United might be ready to make a move for him in January.

Now, United manager José Mourinho has come out to dash any hopes of a reunion with Ibrahimović.

When the Special One was asked about a transfer for the former United striker, he had a straightforward response: "No. No."

The Red Devils are 10th in the Premier League after nine matches and have won four times, drawn twice and lost three times.

Mourinho's side lost 1-0 to Juventus in the Champions League this week.

The former Chelsea boss has spoken about Romelu Lukaku, who has struggled to find his form for United this season, since the defeat to the Italian club.

"Well against Juventus [in Tuesday night's Champions League defeat] to give him a break, I don't think [Michael] Carrick can play as a striker," he said (via the Independent).

"So against Juventus or we play with the players that we did or we decide to give a rest to Lukaku, then [Marcus] Rashford, who plays as a winger?

"We are not in the best moment to try to think about resting players or try to find solutions, the solutions is to find the players we have."





Will Ibrahimović end his career at LA Galaxy?
