Zlatan Ibrahimovic 'could be offered new deal' at Manchester United FC

Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s agent is reportedly in talks with Manchester United about the possibility of bringing the star striker back to Old Trafford.
The Swedish forwards’s knee injury in the Europa League against Anderlecht ended his United career prematurely, and he was released in July. But Ibrahimovic is doing his rehab at Carrington, and Sky Italia reports that United could offer him a new deal when he regains fitness.
One of the league’s best signings last summer, Ibrahimovic scored 28 goals in 46 appearances for Jose Mourinho’s men, helping them lift the League Cup and Europa League.
And Mourinho has left the door open for a sensational return report the Manchester Evening News.

Speaking last month, the United manager said: “Why not wait for such a good player that gave us so much?”
Romelu Lukaku and Marcus Rashford are the senior central strikers available to Mourinho, with Anthony Martial converted to a left winger. The latest report suggests United are keeping tabs on the situation for a player that looks certain to leave Goodison Park this summer after refusing to sign a new contract.
But Chelsea and Spurs are both showing a far greater desire to get the deal done before the end of the month, leaving it as a two horse race for his signature.

Petition launched to sack Arsenal medical staff

Image
It's tough to be an Arsenal fan at the moment - and maybe even tougher to be a member of Arsene Wenger's squad. The Gunners' injury woes reached a nadir on Wednesday after learning that Santi Cazorla will be out for up to three months with knee ligament damage, while Alexis Sanchez is expected to miss a month with a thigh injury. Wenger now has an entire starting XI out on the sidelines , and it has all gotten a little too much for some. One particularly disgruntled fan - M S in Australia - has decided to try to avoid repeat disasters, starting a  Change.org  petition calling for Wenger to sack his  entire  medical staff. The letter to 'Wenger Lad' which accompanies the petition reads: "Every year our hopes are mighty high and so are our performances on the football pitch. Not only this, our players have the best hair. Then November comes and it all turns to s***. Injuries destroy us and our title hopes.  "Sign this petition so the medical sta...

Turkey challenges Russia over IS oil trade claim

Image
Turkey has challenged Russia to prove its claim that Ankara shot down a Russian plane in order to protect its oil trade with Islamic State (IS). "If you allege something you should prove it," Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said. He was responding to a statement by Russia's President Vladimir Putin. Russia says Turkey downed the jet as it was flying over Syria. Turkey says the plane entered its airspace and was warned to leave. One Russian pilot was killed and the other rescued after Russia's Su-24 bomber was shot down by a Turkish F-16 fighter on the Syrian border on 24 November. A Russian marine was killed during the rescue operation in north-western Syria. Russia has insisted the plane did not cross the border and that it gave advance notice of the flight path to the US, Turkey's ally. But the US has supported Turkey's version of events. On Monday state department spokeswoman Elizabeth Trudeau said that "evidence from Turke...

AirAsia crash: Faulty part 'major factor'

Image
A faulty component was a "major factor" when an AirAsia plane crashed into the Java Sea, killing 162 people last December, Indonesian officials say. The first major report into the crash found that actions by the crew in response to the malfunction also contributed to the disaster. The Airbus A320-200, going from Surabaya to Singapore, was 40 minutes into the flight when contact was lost. The report is the result of a year-long investigation. Officials pinpointed the fault to the plane's rudder control system. The pilots responded to four warning alerts by resetting the system, which caused the autopilot to disengage, and they lost control of the aircraft. AirAsia QZ8501: What we know The plane's wreckage was found days after the crash at the bottom of the Java Sea near Borneo. Only 106 bodies have been retrieved so far. Most of the passengers were I...
