Jose Mourinho expects next season to be Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s last at football’s top level and expects it to be with Manchester United.

Mourinho is confident that option will be taken up but he expects next season to be the striker’s last playing at “the highest level”.

 “I’m totally convinced he is going to stay,” Mourinho said. “He came with the intention to stay two years, but in the minds of everyone the first year is going better than every expectation.

“He knows we are going to try again to improve next season and try to share with him, in a fantastic way, probably the last year of his career at the highest level.

“So I’m convinced that he’s staying, he’s adapted to the club, to the situation.

“I don’t see any problem with his family. I gave him the possibility of a few days off to go to Sweden, but he doesn’t want to, he prefers to stay here, so I’m totally convinced he is going to stay.”

United offloaded notably Morgan Schniderlin and Memphis Depay during the January transfer window, but insisted that the club is stable, and that he does not expect much transfer business from the club in the summer.

“We prefer to bring two, three or four good players who fit in the idea of the way we are trying to play and improve our squad.

“We are not interested in selling six or seven and buying six or seven, and from those six or seven only one or two are great quality and the others are the same as the ones we are selling.

“We have a squad that, like every squad, needs changes but we know also that our squad has potential, our squad has good players,” Mourinho said.

 “We are stable. We think our market in the summer will be soft and natural. Some players will leave, some players will come but in a very natural way. I think our summer [activity] will be quite small.”
