Zlatan Ibrahimovic 'here to help' despite injury as Manchester United take on Ajax in Europa League final, says Ander Herrera

Zlatan Ibrahimovic may only be a spectator at Wednesday's Europa League final, but Manchester United colleague Ander Herrera expects the experienced Swede will still have a part to play in Stockholm.

The 35-year-old striker was back at United's Aon Training Complex last week after going under the knife in America to repair the knee ligament damage he sustained during the Europa League quarter-finals.

That has ruled him out of a homecoming against former club Ajax at the Friends Arena, where a statue of the striker is due to be erected, though United boss Jose Mourinho has already confirmed Ibrahimovic and his fellow injured team-mates will travel to the contest regardless.
