If the rumours doing the rounds in Manchester's football circles are to be believed, Jose Mourinho is considering a move to take Zlatan Ibrahimovic back to Manchester United in January.
While the United manager has yet to confirm or deny his interest, there are many reasons for him to do all he can to get the Swedish forward back to Old Trafford, even if only for a couple of months.
From a purely footballing perspective, the tail end of Ibrahimovic's United career in 2017-18 -- when he scored just once in seven appearances after returning ahead of schedule following a cruciate ligament injury -- suggests that his impact on the pitch would be minimal if he returned to the Premier League during the MLS off-season.
