Former Manchester United defender Wes Brown says talk of Zlatan Ibrahimovic being given a new two-year deal is no surprise because of the Swede’s current form.
The 35-year-old moved to Old Trafford on a 12-month contract. He had the option for another year, in the summer.
Furthermore, Jose Mourinho has already said that activating the extension will be “no problem”.
However, newspaper reports suggest United now want him to stay for another year on top.
Ibrahimovic has scored 19 goals so far this season.
Also, Zlatan would be 37 by the time that potential contract expires.
But Brown, who won five Premier League titles with United, says his form merits that discussion and insists age is no barrier for certain players.
