Ibrahimovic’s recovery has shocked doctors – Agent

Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s agent, Mino Raiola, has claimed that doctors have been surprised as to how strong the player’s knee is.

Ibrahimovic underwent an operation on damaged knee ligaments in the US two weeks ago and is set to miss the rest of the season and the start of the next campaign.

But Raiola insists he stands a good chance of returning to football.

“His knee is so strong that the doctors said they had never seen anything like it,” he told Swedish newspaper Expressen.

“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.

“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 back Zlatan 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 scored 28 goals in 46 games for United, following his move from Paris Saint-Germain.
