LONDON: Zlatan Ibrahimovic has rejoined Manchester United on a one-year contract after the Swedish star´s spell with the Premier League side was curtailed by a serious knee injury last season.

Ibrahimovic missed the final weeks of United´s campaign after suffering ligament damage in a Europa League clash against Anderlecht in April.

But United manager Jose Mourinho remained in contact with the 35-year-old while he underwent his rehabilitation and the former Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain forward has now agreed to return to Old Trafford.

"I am back to finish what I started. It was always mine and the club´s intention for me to stay," Ibrahimovic told United´s website.
