Zlatan Ibrahimovic will be given a second year at Old Trafford, Jose Mourinho has confirmed.
The 35-year-old striker signed on a free transfer in the summer on a one-year deal, but with the option of extending that for a second.
"Zlatan's situation is simple," said Mourinho.
"He has one plus one. We are happy with him. We are going to execute the option of a second season. After that he can do what he wants."
Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho is asked by BBC Sport's Simon Stone how long it will take before the club are competing at the level he wants.
Mourinho replies: "I think the three years contract I was given, it is a fair period of time to be where we want to be.
"Three years is not just about the transfer windows we have, it is about my relationship with the players and my understanding of the players, of my personality in the club, and stability.
"It is a fair period of time, but if you ask me if I am waiting for my third year to have good results - no. I am going immediately to try this season to get results.
"Let's go step by step. I am in the beginning of my contract. If you ask me would I like to stay here for more time than three years, yes I would. I would love it, but I have to deserve that."
Jose Mourinho has rubbished the chances of bidding for Argentina and Barcelona forward Lionel Messi, saying the five-time Ballon D'Or winner "belongs to Barcelona".
"Lionel Messi is every season the same story, every season he is going to leave and he never does," he said.
"I hope he never leaves. He belongs to Barcelona, the beautiful thing for him would be to start and finish at Barca."
Funny thing about all these dominant games you have dropped points, two of them came by the supposed league's best keeper conceding his only shot on target, one of which he massively fecked up for (Stoke).
Ibrahimovic responds to Mourinho remark
“For the moment we haven’t had any discussions. I have a comment that says one plus one. I feel good, I feel fresh, I feel in shape, so it will probably be a second year. I want to perform like I can do and not waste time.
“The second year goes automatic after one, so if it continues like this, yes.”
Dutch journalist: We don't see you shining like you used to shine
“I shine 24 hours. I’m getting older yes, but I’m shining in one way or another but if you want to shine even more I will try to do it for you.”
Zlatan on goal drought, "I think I had a couple of unlucky games, some moments not focusing like I should."
Are United unlucky?
“We have been dominating games totally and yes we have been unlucky but I feel also that the Premier League teams don’t control the games and it’s back and front, back and front, they fight until the lats minute but we have to do more and get the winning streak. If we get that we’ll feel more comfortable.”
Is Ibrahimovic enjoying Manchester?
“United has to be in the top every year. That is where they belong and that is what we are working for. But it takes time.
“Once I stepped into the city the whole city was shining, but I feel it shining now 24 hours, even if it gets dark by three or four o’clock, I’m here and I’m having a good time. I feel comfortable, I feel good, I’m simple. I’m happy.”
"Tomorrow becomes a game where defeat, we are out. So we approach that game knowing it is a knockout game for us."
0-0 all over it.

No 'supposed' about it. De Gea is the league's best goalkeeper.
Very hard to argue with any of Jose's comments there.

Come on VC, that's not the spirit, you can start could usually start an argument with anybody.
"Three years" will the board be patient? If by this time next year we aren't performing any better will Jose be giving the chance to carry on?

There are very few people on here who I am inclined to start an argument with. And one of them is on Filter, so I resist the temptation.
The is one particular imbecile who I will deliberately goad, just because I can, and it is fun.
Other than that I get on with most United fans on here.
Great to hear both Jose and Ibra hope to stay on.
I have a feeling everything is going to click tomorrow and kick start a run of positive results.

Chazbo, checking my every post, the obsession you show towards me is getting worrying!
You just prove time and time again that I've really got to you (mission accomplished).
Give my regards to that fat slattern of yours.
"And she bangs, she bangs
Oh baby
When she moves, she moves
I go crazy"
Will you ever "get over me"?
Will you ever "move on"?
Stick to piggybacking other posters old chump! You need others to help you out, yap yap
