Jose Mourinho is adamant Zlatan Ibrahimovic will be at Manchester United next season and end his top-flight career at Old Trafford.
Ibrahimovic, United's top scorer with 20 goals this season, signed a one-year deal with an option for a further 12 months when he joined as a free agent from Paris St Germain last summer.
The 35-year-old forward has been linked with a move to Italy this summer and a lucrative switch to the mega-rich Chinese Super League, but boss Mourinho is convinced the Swede will prolong his stay with the Reds, with United ready to trigger his contract extension.
"I'm totally convinced he is going to stay," said Mourinho. "He came with the intention to stay two years, but in the minds of everyone the first year is going better than every expectation.
"He knows we are going to try again to improve next season and try to share with him, in a fantastic way, probably the last year of his career at the highest level.
"So I'm convinced that he's staying, he's adapted to the club, to the situation.
"I don't see any problem with his family. I gave him the possibility of a few days off to go to Sweden, but he doesn't want to, he prefers to stay here, so I'm totally convinced he is going to stay."
