Zlatan Was brought in by Manchester United on a free transfer after his contract got over with Ligue 1 champions Paris Saint-Germain.

The former Swedish international who has already 12 goals English Premier League goals in 17 matches is in a sublime form even at the age of 35 years.

He joined the Red Devils on a one-year contract. But Mourinho now suggests that he is confident that the striker will stay back for one more season.

Speaking to media, the Portuguese manager said: "I'm not really surprised [by his form] because he's a very intelligent guy, a very proud man. For him to decide to come to Manchester United, the Premier League, the most difficult league in the world for a striker - it's because he knows he can do it.

"When we contacted him and he said yes, I was sure he was not coming here to leave the Premier League without proof, to leave failing at Manchester United - no way.

"So when such a guy decided to come, I was completely clear that he would be ready and he's ready for more next season. He'll be here again."
