Ibrahimovic stalls on extending United deal over Champions League qualification

Manchester United striker, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, is stalling on signing a contract extension with the club, over concerns they might not qualify for the Champions League.

United are currently sixth in the Premier League, outside the top four places.

According to MirrorSport, Ibrahimovic is reluctant to go a second season without playing in Europe’s top club competition.

The Swedish striker turns 36 in October and believes next season could be his last at one of Europe’s top clubs, before he heads to the MLS.

United, however, have a second route into the Champions League, if they win the Europa League. Jose Mourinho’s men have been drawn against FC Rostov in the quarter-final of the competition.
