WATCH: I shine 24 hours - Zlatan
Speaking to journalists ahead of Man Utd’s Europa League tie against Feyenoord on Thursday, Mourinho said this about the bullish forward:
"We are going to execute the option of a second season. After that he can do what he wants.''
Ibra also confirmed that he had the option to extend his contract at the club for one more year. He however revealed that no contract talks had been initiated thus far. He said:
"For the moment we haven't had any discussions. I have a comment that says one plus one. I feel good, I feel fresh, I feel in shape, so it will probably be a second year. I want to perform like I can do and not waste time.
"The second year goes automatic after one, so if it continues like this, yes.
"Once I stepped into the city the whole city was shining, but I feel it shining now 24 hours, even if it gets dark by three or four o'clock, I'm here and I'm having a good time. I feel comfortable, I feel good. I'm simple, I'm happy.''
