“Zlatan’s skills fit United very well,” Andersson, who worked with Ibrahimovic at Malmo, told The Sun.

“He always adapts to whatever league he is in. I don’t think him playing until he’s 40 is impossible.

“He has been lucky not to have any serious injuries in his career.

“But it’s not impossible he can play for United for another three or five years.”
