Manchester United's Portugues manager José Mourinho believes that Swedish striker José Mourinho will be back on the pitch playing for the Red Devils before the end of 2017, maybe even for the Manchester derby against Pep Guardiola's Manchester City on Sunday December 10th at Old Trafford with kick-off scheduled at 17.30 CET.

"He is a lion, he is a fighter. I think that is a good description of him, he has the anger all the time and that's the reason why he's almost coming back. As we expect, he's reduced the timing of his recovering and, as we were saying a few weeks ago, he will be back in 2017, which is a magnificent recovery" Mourinho said to Sky Sports.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic recently signed a 1 year contract extension with Manchester United after having joined the club in the summer of 2016. Last season the former Ajax, Juventus, Inter, Barcelona, Milan and PSG striker featured 46 times scoring 28 goals across all competitions in his maiden year playing for an English club.
