-

LONDON — Zlatan Ibrahimovi­c has indicated he will extend his Manchester United stay after saying this week he will “never leave a job unfinished”.

The 35-year-old striker has quickly establishe­d himself as a fans’ favorite at Old Trafford, scoring 26 goals in 41 appearance­s in his debut season after joining on a free transfer from Paris SaintGerma­in last summer.

Ibrahimovi­c has the option of another year on his contract, with United manager Jose Mourinho making it clear he would like him to stay with the English giant.

“I’m a person when I go into something I put my head 200 percent and I do what I’m good at,” Ibrahimovi­c told the Manchester Evening News.

“I go in, I go for the kill and I go out. And when I go out,

I’m enjoying being at a fantastic club ... one of the biggest clubs in the world with a great coach.”

Zlatan Ibrahimovi­c, on his time with Manchester United there is no complaints, that’s what I do. I never leave a job unfinished.

“Let’s see what happens, we are talking. I have an option for another year, I want to do great as long as I’m here, so let’s see, there is a lot of time.”

In another good sign for United fans, Ibrahimovi­c stressed how much he is relishing working with Mourinho, who also coached the Swede at Inter Milan.

“I’m enjoying being at a fantastic club, without doubts, one of the biggest clubs in the world with a great coach,” said Ibrahimovi­c. “I know him before, he’s a winner, he’s the perfect coach for this club.

“Being a Manchester United player, I don’t know how many people have that possibilit­y, but I am a Man United player, people wanted me here. I chose the best English club.”
