Manchester United fans got a shock after the news came in on Friday evening that Zlatan Ibrahimovic is being released by the club. Rather, if we say it the Zlatan way, it is he who released the entire Manchester United team!

A free agent yet again, the 35-year-old player, who remains one of the major figures of Man Utd last season, is possibly on the verge of receiving a shock offer from a second-tier side in the Netherlands, named SC Telstar.

There's no chance in hell, however, that Zlatan will accept any possible offer from the Eerste Divisie league (second division) side.

Other clubs throwing the hat to sign Zlatan in the last 24 hours:

Bundesliga side Hertha Berlin SC

French Ligue 2 club Chamois Niortais FC

Ibrahimovic can, however, make a shock return to Manchester United, once his rehabilitation from the ligament injuries in his knee is over.

Yes, that's possible. With Zlatan Ibrahimovic, expect anything, as you've always done.

Let's point out why

  • The Swede forward is expected to complete full recovery and get back to the field as early as the start of 2018. Jose Mourinho can swoop on him again.
  • Ibrahimovic will complete his rehabilitation from his recent surgery at Manchester United's AON training complex in Carrington, Greater Manchester.

The mega ball be in the court of Zlatan's agent Mino Raiola for now, as it is none but the strong Dutch football agent who will discuss and dissect the immediate future of his high-profile client.

The one-of-a-kind footballer, meanwhile, posted an interesting musical video on his Instagram late on Friday, making fans curious!
