Zlatan Ibrahimovic opens the door for return to Swedish national team in time for this summer's World Cup if he can recover his fitness

Manchester United striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic has opened the door for a return to the Swedish national team at this year's World Cup in Russia if he can recover his fitness in time.

'We'll see, it's a tough question. I want to feel that I can perform and give back. I don't want to come just because I'm somebody. The door isn't closed for anything,' he said.

Speaking to reporters at the opening of his new paddle tennis centre in Stockholm, the 36-year-old added that it was hard to watch the Swedes play without him.
