Zlatan Ibrahimovic will be offered a coaching role at Manchester United by Jose Mourinnho in a bid to get the Swede to sign a new deal, according to reports. The striker is currently out of action with a serious knee injury he suffered in the last game of his United contract but talks have already been held about his return.
A post-playing role on the coaching staff has been mentioned as Mourinho aims to tie the powerhouse to the club long-term. Mourinho sees potential for former Barcelona and Inter Milan star Ibrahimovic to have a more long-term influence on the young players coming through at the club.
Didier Drogba was used in a similar role towards the end of his Chelsea playing career by Mourinho, and is likely to return to the club in some capacity. And the United boss is said to be keen on getting the experienced ex-Ajax frontman to take on a similar duty after he hangs up his shooting boots.
