Dr. Freddie Fu, the surgeon who operated on Manchester United striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic, has admitted he could get into trouble with the Premier League club, if he reveals details of the operation.
Fu, who is chairman of the department of orthopaedic surgery at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Centre, however, insisted the 35-year-old is in “superb shape” and can play on for many years.
Ibrahimovic underwent surgery in the US last week, after suffering major knee ligament damage during a Europa League tie against Anderlecht.
He is expected to be out until 2018.
“I can’t discuss too many details, I don’t want to get in trouble with Manchester United.
“But I can tell you he’s in superb shape in all things.
“Healthy morphology, the quality of the bone and muscle, everything is as good as you can possibly see.
“He’s one of the top athletes I’ve ever touched, he is in superb shape.
“He can still play for many years,” Fu told the South China Morning Post.
