ZLATAN IBRAHIMOVIC continues to embrace life with Manchester United - despite being released last week.

The veteran Swede, 35, has indicated he wants to continue to use the facilities at Carrington for his rehab after his contract expires at the end of this month.

This week he has been in several days working in the hydro pool and is now walking freely with the leg brace gone.



Meanwhile he turned up at a United training centre in Littleton Road to watch his two sons in action.

Youngsters Max and Vincent have been working in the club’s academy since their dad was signed up last summer.

Ibrahimovic is ruled out until the end of the year at least after suffering a cruciate injury in April.

United have left the door open for Ibra to win a contract with them once he is fit again - but have made him no promises.

Jose Mourinho hopes to complete the signing of Real Madrid’s Alvaro Morata - who would effectively fill the gap left by the Swede.

And as SunSport exclusively revealed yesterday, the Spaniard could end up costing £180million in transfer fee and wages.
