Zlatan Ibrahimovic has revealed that he is open to staying at Manchester United beyond his current deal

The 34-year-old, who is nearing the end of his professional career, signed a one-year deal with the option of an additional 12 months after moving to Old Trafford earlier this summer on a free transfer.

As well as a four-year spell with Ligue 1 giants Paris Saint-Germain, Ibrahimovic has played for Malmo, Ajax, Juventus, Inter Milan, Barcelona and AC Milan and has won 27 trophies so far in his career.

"You never know, it could be more than two [years], it could be more than three," Ibrahimovic told reporters. "Let's see how long I feel like I can perform. I will not be somewhere only because I am Ibrahimovic. I will be somewhere because I can perform and bring results.

"I have been at the top for 10-15 years, I have played for clubs that players could only dream about and I have won with every club I have been at.

"Turning down a challenge does not exist in my world. I have been in every country, now England, and that is why I find the adventure cool. I came, I won, I went. Hopefully I can do the same here."

Ibrahimovic scored the winning goal in United's Community Shield victory over Leicester City last weekend.
