Ibrahimovic has been linked with a move back to Malmo, where he started his career, but he rejected that out of hand. He also dismissed the notion of retirement.

‘Let’s see what happens,’ he grinned. ‘I am just warming up. I had a great season, a fantastic season so I proved age is just a number.
‘Everything is in your head. Everything you want to do, you do. If I want to make it, I will make it. If I want to do it I will do it.’
