Zlatan Ibrahimovic heads out for dinner with agent Mino Raiola in Manchester and confirms his future will be sorted soon
ZLATAN IBRAHIMOVIC and agent Mino Raiola have fuelled speculation that the Swedish striker will head back to Old Trafford after being snapped leaving a Manchester restaurant.

But his limb looks more mobile after SunSport revealed he is planning to be back in action as soon as October.
And United are understood to have made a gentleman's agreement with him and Raiola over a new deal at the club he joined on a free from Paris Saint-Germain.
Asked by photographers about his future, Ibrahimovic said: "Huge announcement soon.";

And his contract officially ended on July 1, but Woodward had the option to extend it one more season, which the club are keen to do if the Swede can get fit in time to contribute to their campaign.
