Zlatan to be offered Manchester United coaching role alongside Jose Mourinho

Zlatan, United's Saviour

He had a bit of an autumn blip, but Zlatan Ibrahimovic is very much on fire once again.

Manchester United's decision to sign the 35-year-old Swede on a free transfer last summer raised some eyebrows, but he's dispelled all those doubts.

Aside from a bit of a goal drought in October, Zlatan has been brilliant.

Indeed, even during that goal drought, his performances remained very good, it's just that he momentarily lost his shooting boots.

But after last weekend's brilliant brace against West Brom, he's definitely rediscovered them: that's 11 league goals for the Swede now, just 2 behind the top scorer Diego Costa.

At this rate, the decision to only offer him a 1-year deal looks short-sighted; the Swede could feasibly play until he's 40.

Coaching Role

An the United hierarchy have been so impressed with him that they're ready to offer him a coaching role alongside Jose Mourinho.

It's a nice gesture from United, but given that Zlatan recently said he could play until he's 50, are they not at risk of insulting him and  trying to push 'old man Zlatan' into early retirement?
