The agent of Zlatan Ibrahimovic reveals that it is a question of when rather than if the striker will extend his stay at Manchester United for a second season.

The agent of Zlatan Ibrahimovic has revealed that there is a "big chance" that the striker will stay at Manchester United for a second season.

The 35-year-old moved to Old Trafford on a one-year contract from Paris Saint-Germain in the summer and has since scored 16 goals in all competitions.

Reports had speculated that the Swede had been offered a lucrative £120m move to the Chinese Super League, but Mino Raiola expects him to stay at United.

"There is a big chance that there will be a second year. We had already included that in the contract so it is not new for us and Manchester United. Both parties are very happy with that. It is more a question of time or when rather than if," he told talkSPORT.

"[The interest from China] was also last year and he chose not to take it to come to England and that showed his spirit. The boy is not done yet. He still has it in him. He still has the fire that he wants to win, that he wants to perform, and if it was only money he was after, he would not be at Manchester United."

Ibrahimovic has scored 10 goals in his last nine games for United.
