Jose Mourinho believes Zlatan Ibrahimovic could return in December.

Ibrahimovic is recovering from a torn ACL.

Mourinho said: “Zlatan is here, he’s working here and under our control. He’s working as you would expect so, so, so hard. But he’s not to be back in the next week or next couple of weeks. Do I believe he’ll be back in 2017? Yes, I do. But it’s just a feeling.”

Ibrahimovic re-signed with United in the summer.
