Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho
said it is "possible" that out-of-contract striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic could sign a new deal.
The former Sweden international, 35, was
released in June after he not being offered a
new contract.
He has been recovering from knee surgery at
United's training ground.
Mourinho said: "If the decision is to stay and
wait until December - he can't be back until
them - why not wait? We are speaking and
changing ideas."
Ibrahimovic signed a one-year deal in July
2016, but an extension was not triggered after
he suffered a season-ending knee ligament
injury in April.
He scored 28 times in 46 games in all competitions for United.
Mourinho also said he wants to sign "one or
two" more players this summer.
United have spent a combined £106m on
Benfica defender Victor Lindhof and Everton
striker Romelu Lukaku during the transfer
window, and have been linked with three
midfielders - Chelsea's Nemanja Matic, Ivan
Perisic from Inter Milan and Tottenham's Eric Dier.
Mourinho said: "I can't say any word about a
Chelsea player." However, he added that
United "don't have our door closed".
"We need more," he said. "We wanted four -
50% of the job is done. We need two more
players, at least one. Everything is so difficult."
Mourinho confirmed that United tried to sign
24-year-old Spain striker Alvaro Morata last
month but could not agree a fee with Real
Madrid.
