Ibrahimovic played 46 games under Jose Mourinho during the 2016/17 season, scoring 28 goals, but injury ruled him out of the final 10 matches of the season, including the Europa League final win against his former club Ajax in Stockholm.
United are understood to have already begun their search for a replacement with Alvaro Morata reportedly set to join the Red Devils.
The 24-year-old is willing to leave Real Madrid after failing to cement a regular place in the starting XI at the Bernabeu with United and AC Milan now battling it out for his signature.
As for Ibrahimovic, his agent Mino Raiola has suggested that the Swede is keen to remain in the Premier League, opening the door to the former Barcelona man to join one of United’s rivals.
